 An insurance company issued a $99 million one-year, zero-coupon note at 7 percent add-on annual interest (paying one coupon at the end of the year) and used the proceeds plus $19 million in equity to fund a $118 million face value, two-year commercial loan at 9 percent annual interest. Immediately after these transactions were (simultaneously) undertaken, all interest rates went up 1.4 percent.  |

a. Market value of the loan investment:
Face Value of loan investment = $118 million
Coupon Rate = 9%
Current Market Rate = 10.4%
Cash Flows :
1st Year = $118 million * 9% = $10.62 million
2nd year = $118 million * 9% + $118 million (Principal) = $128.62 million
Present Value of Cash flows discounted at 10.4%
PV of cash flows = (10.62 million/1.104) + (128.62 million/1.104^2) = $115.1482 million
Market Value of Loan Investment = $115.1482 million
b. Duration at initial Issue:
| Year | Cash flow | Cash flow x Year | PV of Cash flow (9%) | 
| 1 | 10.62 | 10.62 | 9.74 | 
| 2 | 128.62 | 257.24 | 216.51 | 
| Total | 226.26 | ||
