According to the video, what event marked the end of the French Revolution in 1799?

Mention two reasons behind the French Revolution. Vague answers such as “people were unhappy” won’t be considered.

Why was the Bastille an important symbol even though it held only seven prisoners when it was stormed?

Chapter 11c: A risk manager analyzes a historical dataset of 50 daily returns sorted from worst to best. The 5 worst returns are: 1st (Worst): -30.0% 2nd: -22.0% 3rd: -18.0% 4th: -12.0% 5th: -8.0%  Calculate the 92% Value at Risk (VaR) and the 92% Expected Shortfall (ES).

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 17b: In external credit rating frameworks (e.g., S&P, Moody’s, Fitch), credit analysts evaluate both financial and business risks. Which of the following factors is correctly categorized under Business Risk rather than Financial Risk?

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

Chapter 17a: Which of the following statements regarding the evolution of credit risk regulation under the Basel Accords is/are correct? (i) Basel I introduced the 8% minimum capital requirement using broad-brush risk weights, but lacked granularity by treating all corporate debt identically regardless of credit quality. (ii) Basel II introduced the Standardized Approach (SA) relying on external credit ratings and the Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) approach allowing banks to model Expected Loss using PD, LGD, and EAD. (iii) Basel I was the first accord to introduce the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) capital charge for mark-to-market counterparty losses.

Chapter 20a: Calculate the operational risk capital requirement under the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) for Bank Sigma, given the following gross income data over the last three financial years: Year 1: $150 million Year 2: -$40 million Year 3: $250 million Assuming the fixed regulatory percentage is 15%, what is the correct operational risk capital charge for Bank Sigma?
