Tоdаy is Mаy 15, 2017 (t=0). Yоu оbserve the following term structure of interest rаtes (semiannually-compounded, with maturity T) today. T-t r2(t,T) 0.5 2.63 1.0 2.86 1.5 3.45 2.0 3.94 2.5 4.35 3.0 4.42 (a) What are the prices of 1-year zero coupon bond and 2.5-year zero coupon bond? (Face value: F = $100) 1-year zero coupon bond: [answer1] 2.5-year zero coupon bond: [answer2] (b) Suppose you consider buying 2.5-year zero coupon bond today. What is the expected 1-year holding period returns (HPR, annual compounding frequency) for this bond, if you believe that the expectation hypothesis would hold? [answer3] (c) Suppose you have purchased 2.5-year zero coupon bond on May 15, 2017. One year later (on May 15, 2018), you observe that the term structure of interests actually stays exactly the same as in 2017. What is the realized one-year holding period returns (HPR) for the bond? [answer4] (d) If you are planning to hold the bond to the maturity (2.5 years), do the changes in the term structure of interest rates matter to you? [answer5] (e) Suppose you observe that a bank offers the following forward rate: f2(0, 1, 2.5) = 6.15%, which allows you to invest/borrow $100 million dollars at the quoted forward rate for the 1.5 years after 1 year from now (from May 15, 2018 to November 15, 2019). Is there an arbitrage opportunity? If there is, how would you take advantage of it? Describe the exact transactions that you need to make in order to obtain an arbitrage profit. First, assume that all zero-coupon bonds are traded at their fair values. Second, assume that you would like to generate positive cash-flows today and no other cash flows in the future. (Step 1) You [answer6] $100 million dollars at the bank's quoted forward rate (6.15%) (Step 2) You [answer7] 1-million units of 1-year zero-coupon bonds. (Step 3) You [answer8] [answer10]-million units of 2.5-year zero-coupon bonds. (f) With increasing term structure of interest rates, do you think Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) of 5-year 4% coupon bond should be higher than that of 3-year 4% coupon bond? [answer9]
Tаble shоws the cоst per QALY figures fоr severаl public heаlth interventions proposed in a community. Note: This is for illustrative purposes only, the figures presented are not valid and reliable. Programs Cost per QALY-Gained Total Cost to Implement ($) Flu vaccination $5 $25,000 Physician advice on weight loss $245 $490,000 Mosquito Nets $846 $126,900 STD/STI Treatment $410 $20,500 Answer the following questions and provide your process of calculation (or reasoning) for each question. Q1. How many QALYs will $1,000 worth of Flu vaccine purchase in this community? Q2. The community decision-makers geared toward providing mosquito nets and decided to provide $10,000 worth of mosquito nets to the community members. How many QALYs will be forgone as a result of spending the money on the nets rather than on the flu vaccine? Q3. If you have a budget of $180,000, which interventions would you implement for this community to achieve the best possible improvements in population health?
