Assume that securitization combined with borrowing and irrational exuberance in Hyperville have driven up the value of asset-backed financial securities at a geometric rate, specifically from $4 to $8 to $16 to $32 to $64 to $128 over a six-year time period. Over the same period, the value of the assets underlying the securities rose at an arithmetic rate from $4 to $6 to $8 to $10 to $12 to $14.
If these patterns hold for decreases as well as for increases, by how much would the value of the financial securities decline if the value of the underlying asset suddenly and unexpectedly fell by $6?

The following are correct statements about the impact of Market Interest Rate (i*) on value and return of a typical Coupon Bond, EXCEPT: The YTM of a Bond and the Market Interest Rate (i*) are the same value, even in the Short Term. O For a long term bond, if the Market Interest rate (i*) is expected to increase, the current Price of such Bond will Decline. For a two period Bond, if the Market Interest rate (i*) is expected to increase in the next period, the Expected Total Return (RET) on such bond will decline. Long Term Bonds are considered more risky than Short Term bonds, in part due to the risk associated to changes in future interest rates.arrow_forward
