Solution

The leverage adjusted duration gap is a measure of the sensitivity of the value of a bank's net worth to changes in interest rates. It is calculated as the difference between the duration of assets and the duration of liabilities, adjusted for the leverage of the bank.

First, we need to calculate the duration of each asset and liability:

  1. The duration of a 2-year corporate bond with an annual fixed rate of 5% is approximately 1.92 years. (This is calculated using the formula for the duration of a bond with annual coupons: D = [1 + (1 + r)^(-2)] / r, where r is the interest rate.)

  2. The duration of a 2-year zero coupon bond is exactly 2 years, because the only cash flow occurs at the end of the 2 years.

  3. The duration of a 3-year zero coupon bond is exactly 3 years, because the only cash flow occurs at the end of the 3 years.

Next, we calculate the weighted average duration of assets (DA) and liabilities (DL):

DA = (375 * 1.92 + 300 * 2) / (375 + 300) = 1.95 years DL = (500 * 3) / 500 = 3 years

The leverage of the bank (L) is calculated as the ratio of assets to equity:

L = (375 + 300) / 175 = 3.86

Finally, we calculate the leverage adjusted duration gap (DGAP) using the formula:

DGAP = DA - (L * DL) = 1.95 - (3.86 * 3) = -9.61 years

So, the bank's leverage adjusted duration gap is -9.61 years.
