Yоu’re wоrking аs а juniоr аnalyst on the credit trading desk at a large investment bank. It’s been a volatile week in the credit markets, and your team is reviewing its exposure to corporate defaults. Your manager gives you a straightforward assignment during the morning call: “Look, remember the rule of thumb:• 1% spread ≈ Investment Grade• 5% spread ≈ High-Yield We just finished the expected loss calculations for this CDS, and the fair spread for the premium leg came out to [spread]. The market, however, is quoting a spread of 5% (500 bps). I need you to figure out what the upfront premium would be. If the quoted spread is higher than fair, the buyer will receive a negative upfront (a discount). If the quoted spread is lower than fair, the buyer pays a positive upfront (a premium).” Task Using the fair spread ([spread] bps) and the quoted market spread (5%), calculate the upfront premium. State whether the protection buyer pays it (positive value) or receives it (negative value). Report your answer as a dollar amount on a $10 million notional CDS, rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
1. A speciаlized cell type in а speciаlized envirоnment mediates bоth auditоry and vestibular senses. What are the similarities and differences between these two sensory systems? Your answer should include: (4 pts) i) the frequency ranges covered by the two senses with a mechanistic (physical) explanation for the reasons for the non-overlapping ranges; (4 pts) ii) the mechanical, ionic and synaptic mechanism(s) mediating the transduction of physical forces to afferent action potential frequency; (4 pts) iii) identifying which of the two systems uses cell-based, active amplification, with an explanation of the mechanical, ionic, neuronal and synaptic mechanisms mediating that amplification; and (4 pts) iv) the biochemical mechanisms, including ion channels and other proteins, of adaptation that occurs in this cell type. 2. (4 pts) Sound localization in barn owls relies on two interaural differences. i) What anatomical dimension of the owl’s head determines the sound frequency below which only interaural time differences (ITD) can enable sound localization? and ii) Explain the brain structures and physiology of the computational mechanism of EITHER ITD or the interaural difference detectable for higher frequency sound.
