1 SOCIETY OF ACTUARIES EXAM FM FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS EXAM FM SAMPLE SOLUTIONS Ineres Theory Ths page ndcaes changes made o Sudy Noe FM January 4, 04: Quesons and soluons were added. June, 04 Queson 58 was moved o he Dervaves Markes se of sample quesons. Quesons 6-73 were added. Many of he quesons were re-worded o conform o he curren syle of queson wrng. The subsance was no changed. December, 05: Quesons were added. Some of he quesons n hs sudy noe are aken from pas SOA/CAS examnaons. These quesons are represenave of he ypes of quesons ha mgh be asked of canddaes sng for he Fnancal Mahemacs (FM) Exam. These quesons are nended o represen he deph of undersandng requred of canddaes. The dsrbuon of quesons by opc s no nended o represen he dsrbuon of quesons on fuure exams. The followng model soluons are presened for educaonal purposes. Alernae mehods of soluon are, of course, accepable. Copyrgh 04 by he Socey of Acuares. FM-09-4 PRINTED IN U.S.A.

(D) The lef-hand sde evaluaes he deposs a age 8 and he rgh-hand sde evaluaes he whdrawals a age 8. (E) The lef-hand sde has 8 deposs, no 7 and 5 whdrawals, no Deleed 5. Soluon: D Because only Bond II provdes a cash flow a me, mus be consdered frs. The bond provdes 05 a me and hus 000/05 = uns of hs bond provdes he requred cash. Ths bond hen also provdes (5) = a me 0.5. Thus Bond I mus provde = a me 0.5. The bond provdes 040 and hus /040 = uns mus be purchased. 5. Soluon: C Because only Morgage II provdes a cash flow a me wo, mus be consdered frs. The morgage provdes Y / a Y a mes one and wo. Therefore, Y = for Y = Morgage I mus provde = 000 a me one and hus X = 000/.06 = The sum s

15 53. Soluon: A Bond I provdes he cash flow a me one. Because 000 s needed, one un of he bond should be purchased, a a cos of 000/.06 = Bond II mus provde 000 a me hree. Therefore, he amoun o be renvesed a me wo s 000/.065 = The purchase prce of he wo-year bond s / The oal prce s Soluon: C Gven he coupon rae s greaer han he yeld rae, he bond sells a a premum. Thus, he mnmum yeld rae for hs callable bond s calculaed based on a call a he earles possble dae because ha s mos dsadvanageous o he bond holder (earles me a whch a loss occurs). Thus, X, he par value, whch equals he redempon value because he bond s a par value bond, mus sasfy 30 Prce = Xa Xv.96 X X Soluon: B Because 40/00 s greaer han 0.03, for early redempon he earles redempon should be 30 evaluaed. If redeemed afer 5 years, he prce s 40a 00 / If he bond s redeemed a maury, he prce s should be seleced, whch s a 00 / The smalles value 56. Soluon: E Gven he coupon rae s less han he yeld rae, he bond sells a a dscoun. Thus, he mnmum yeld rae for hs callable bond s calculaed based on a call a he laes possble dae because ha s mos dsadvanageous o he bond holder (laes me a whch a gan occurs). Thus, X, he par value, whch equals he redempon value because he bond s a par value bond, mus sasfy 0 Prce = Xa Xv X X Soluon: B Gven he prce s less han he amoun pad for an early call, he mnmum yeld rae for hs callable bond s calculaed based on a call a he laes possble dae. Thus, for an early call, he 9 effecve yeld rae per coupon perod, j, mus sasfy Prce = 0.50 a 00v j. Usng he calculaor, j =.67%. We also mus check he yeld f he bond s redeemed a maury.
