1, (10 points) Consider a 5% (annualized coupon rate) note maturing 2/15/04, trading at y=2% (semi-annual periodic rate) for settlement 2/15/03 (M=100,000). The bond is used as collateral in a six-month repo, for settlement 2/15/03. The amount of bonds being repoed is $10,000,000, with a 5% haircut. Assume that the party doing the reverse sells the bonds on 2/15/03 to repurchase them on 8/15/03, and that on 8/ 15/03 the yield on the coupon bond is unchanged. Assume the repo rate is 1% (on an MMY basis). Calculate the cash ow generated by the reverse repo on 2/15/03 and 8/15/03. (There are 181 days between 2/15/03 and 8/15/03)
