Your co-manager, Bill tells you that his banker has suggested that the company should invest $100,000 in
2-year Government bonds. Bill said the company can earn 6% by lending short-term in the spot market; any alternative investment would have to have a yield to maturity of at least 6%. The banker assured your boss that the yield on the 2-year Government of Canada bonds was well over 6%, but Bill did not trust his motives because he stands to earn a commission if the company buys the bonds.
Questions
a) Now your boss wants to know from you whether the yield to maturity on the 2-year bond is indeed more than 6%. How would you respond without actually calculating the yield to maturity?
b) Is the 2-year Government of Canada bond properly priced? How can you exploit the mispricing to generate arbitrage profit?

A. a) Suppose a bank customer cashed a $100 check to obtain currency for a weekend holiday.
b) After holidays, the customer re-deposits $100 he still has.
B. Bank X receives deposits of $100 in the form of checks on other banks, then it sends them to the Bank of Canada for collection. Illustrate the impact on deposits of other banks and bank X.
C. a. A customer borrows $100 from bank Y and the money is still not withdrawn from the bank. Assume that the reserves are not enough to support any new deposits.
b. Determine and illustrate the amount the bank Y should borrow from Bank of Canada to face the shortage of liquidity in a).
c. Illustrate the implication of the repayment of borrowing in a) and b).
D. Illustrate the impact of :
a) reducing the reserve ratio to 10% and having $100 deposits in the banking system.
