The market interest rate is expected to decrease by 1% over the coming week. This causes a drain of $ 10 million deposits. The liquidity management committee is to offset this deposit withdrawal by selling a portion of its loan portfolio. Loans have an average life of 2 years and the average interest rate attached to loans is 11 percent. Loans are not amortized; that is, principal is paid at maturity. Given this information, answer the following questions:

How much of loans does now the bank need to sell in order to offset fully the deposit withdrawal?
