In: Accounting
An insurance company issued a $110 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 $30 million in equity
to fund a $140 million face value, two-year commercial loan at 9
percent annual interest. Immediately after these transactions were
(simultaneously) undertaken, all interest rates went up 1.7
percent.

company’s loan investment after the changes in interest rates?
