Village Bank has $310 million worth of assets with a duration of 12 years and liabilities worth $248 million with a duration of five years. In the interest of hedging interest rate risk, Village Bank is contemplating a macrohedge with interest rate T-bond futures contracts now selling for 104-20 (30nds). The T-bond underlying the futures contract has a duration of eight years. If the spot and futures interest rates move together, how many futures contracts must Village Bank sell to fully hedge the balance sheet? (

Answer:

2129  futures contracts to be sold

Explanation:

Asset worth = $310 million

Asset duration = 12 years

liabilities = $248 million

Liabilities duration = 5 years

T-bond futures contracts = 104-20 (30nds)

% of assets = 310 / 248 =

Determine how many futures contracts Village Bank will sell to fully hedge the balance

Number of Contracts = -[Assets * (Asset Duration – (Liabilities Duration * % of Assets) / (Duration * Contract Value)]

 = - [ 310 * ( 12 - ( 5 * (310/248)) / ( 8 * ( 104 + ( 20/30)) ]

= - [ 310 * ( 12 -  6.25 ) / ( 8 * 104.6667 ) ]

= - [ 310 * 5.75 / 837.3336 ]

= - 2.12878 * 1000

= 2128.78 ≈  2129 ( number of futures contracts to be sold )

The sensitivity of a system for disciplining and possibly terminating employees is important, and it is critical that the system be seen as fair. Employees form conclusions about the system's fairness based on the system's outcomes and procedures and the way managers treat employees when carrying out those procedures. Three principles of justice are outcome fairness, procedural justice, and interactional justice.
Outcome fairness involves the ends of a discipline process or action, while procedural and interactional justice focus on the means to those ends. Not only is behavior ethical that is in accord with these principles, but research has also linked the last two categories of justice with employee satisfaction and productivity

Marvin Industries must choose between an electric-powered and a coal-powered forklift machine for its factory. Because both machines perform the same function, the firm will choose only one. (They are mutually exclusive investments.) The electric-powered machine will cost more, but it will be less expensive to operate; it will cost $102,000, whereas the coal-powered machine will cost $69,500. The cost of capital that applies to both investments is 10%. The life for both types of machines is estimated to be 6 years, during which time the net cash flows for the electric-powered machine will be $26,150 per year, and those for the coal-powered machine will be $20,000 per year. Annual net cash flows include depreciation expenses.
