Chapter 11c: A risk measure is defined as coherent if it satisfies four core mathematical properties. Consider the following definitions: (i) Subadditivity: it dictates that the risk measure for two merged portfolios should be no greater than the sum of their individual risk measures before merging. (ii) Translation Invariance: it dictates that if an amount of cash, $K, is added to a portfolio, its risk measure should decrease by $K. (iii) Positive Homogeneity: it dictates that changing the size of a portfolio by a factor A results in the risk measure being multiplied by 1/A. Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Chapter 14: Consider the following statements regarding the four primary sources of interest rate risk faced by banks: (i) Repricing risk arises from timing differences in the maturity or repricing of bank assets, liabilities, and off-balance-sheet positions. (ii) Basis risk occurs when unanticipated shifts in the yield curve, such as steepening or flattening, harm a bank’s economic value. (iii) Option risk arises from embedded options in bank products, such as fixed-rate mortgage prepayments when market interest rates fall.

Chapter 17a (Continued from previous question): You are a credit risk manager reviewing a specialized lending facility for Stellar Dynamics, an aerospace components manufacturer. The bank’s risk modeling team has provided the following inputs for your assessment: Total Facility Limit: $10,000,000 Currently Drawn Amount: $6,000,000 Undrawn Amount: $4,000,000 Credit Conversion Factor (CCF): 75% Collateral: Specialized machinery with a current market appraisal of $8,000,000. In a default scenario, the bank expects a 25% liquidation haircut on the collateral value, with no additional recovery costs. Probability of Default (PD): 3.0% Assuming a standard two-state Bernoulli model, which of the following statements regarding the Unexpected Loss (UL) for the Stellar Dynamics facility is/are true? (i) The loss severity (EAD x LGD) is $3,000,000. (ii) The standard deviation of the default event is approximately 2.91% (iii) The Unexpected Loss (UL) is approximately $87,300
