问一道题:NO.PZ2016082406000058

问题如下:

Consider the following information. You have purchased 10,000 barrels of oil for delivery in one year at a price of $25/barrel. The rate of change of the price of oil is assumed to be normally distributed with zero mean and annual volatility of 30%. Margin is to be paid within two days if the credit exposure becomes greater than $50,000. There are 252 business days in the year. Assuming enforceability of the margin agreement, which of the following is the closest number to the 95% one-year credit risk of this deal governed under the margining agreement?

选项:

A.

$50,000

B.

$58,000

C.

$61,000

D.

$123,000

解释:

ANSWER: C

The worst credit exposure is the $50,000 plus the worst move over two days at the 95% level. The worst potential move is ασT=1.645×30%×2252=4.40%\alpha\sigma\sqrt T=1.645\times30\%\times\sqrt{\frac2{252}}=4.40\%. Applied to the position worth $250,000, this gives a worst move of $10,991. Adding this to $50,000 gives $60,991.

题目问which of the following is the closest number to the 95% one-year credit risk 

既然是问的one year的credit risk,为什么求Var的时候要转换成有两天敞口的呢?

同学你好,

因为这道题里面Margin is to be paid within two days,所以要先把年化的波动率用平方根法则转化为两天的。

先把年化波动率转化成两天的,计算的也是两天的VaR呀,并不是一年的?

同学你好,

是1年的呀。因为1年的VaR是由这个每两天的margin 构成一个序列组成的。
