Expert Solution

From the data in the question we can segregate the assets and liabilities of the bank.

Maturity gap is the difference between the weighted average time to maturity of assets and weighted average time to maturity of liabilities.

I have uploaded the image solving the same.

When the interest rate changes , the market value of the liabilities and assets that will change are reassessed and the new maturity gap is calculated accordingly. The same has also been in the image.

Answers for the remaining questions were also written legibly in the papers.

I tried to maintain clarity and to explain clearly to the extent possible. Kindly let me know if you need any further clarity.
