40m was the answer

I have also marked option B with VaR greater than 9m

The exam was tough and tricky. I wonder few of the candidates saying that it was an easy one then either they don’t understand anything or they are simply genius. I am a re-taker with good amount of studies this time and if I have to compare the exam from May this is really a trickier one...

I believe even if you don’t divide Rate by 2 and multiply by entire interest by 2, normal 2 times bionomial model calculation would arrive you to the answer as options were pretty far away.

I used the formula diff in weights [Wp-Wb]*return on benchmark and obtained answer as .28% not sure I used the right formula for asset allocation.

There was a question on maximum CVA increase , I have marked as deep in the money option. And it was on short security. Wasn’t that prepared this time, not sure any trick in that.
