　　1. Correct answer: A
　　The swap is equivalent to long position in dollar denominated bond and short position in euro denominated bond. (720,000 / 1.042 + 10,720,000 / 1.042^2) - ((714,000 / 1.036 + 11,214,000 / 1.036^2) x 0.95) = - 16,299.
　　2. Answer: C
　　Mortgage pass-through securities, unlike Treasuries or plain vanilla corporate bonds, have
　　an embedded option allowing borrowers to repay the loan at any time. When rates fail, the  effective duration of these securities decreases because borrowers will refinance mortgages at lower rates (putting the loans back to the investors); but when interest rates increase, borrowers will hold on to mortgages longer than they otherwise would, resulting in an increase in the effective duration of the loans. This is reflected in the price/yield relationship as negative convexity.
　　3. Answer: D
　　A is incorrect. Asset 3 should be decreased since it has the lowest marginal return-to-marginal risk ratio.
　　B is incorrect. Asset 4 should be increased since it has the highest marginal return-to-marginal risk ratio.
　　C is incorrect. Asset 4 should be increased since it has the highest marginal return-to-marginal risk ratio.
　　D is correct. A portfolio optimizing the risk-reward tradeoff has the property that the ratio of the marginal return to marginal risk of each asset is equal. Therefore, this option is the only recommendation that will move the ratios in the right direction.
　　4. Correct answer: A
　　The distance between the current value of the assets and the book value of the liabilities
　　= 195- 165 = 30. Using the standard deviations in the return on assets this distance = 30 / 25 = 1.2 standard deviations. Thus the probability of default = cumulative probability of standard normal distribution below -1.2, i.e. 11.5%.
　　5. Answer: B
　　The expected payoff is the sum of probabilities times the payoff in each state of the world, or 83% × $5 + 17% × (-$20) = $4.15 - $3.40 = $0.75. Note that the distribution is highly asymmetric, with a small probability of a large loss.
