Macaulay and Modified Duration

Question 1

An investor holds a 10-year semi-annual coupon bond with a modified duration of 7.2. If market yields rise by 25 basis points, what is the approximate percentage change in the bond’s price?

10:08 ✓✓

A The price will increase by approximately 1.8%.

B The price will decrease by approximately 7.2%.

C The price will decrease by approximately 1.8%. ✓

D The price will remain unchanged since the change is less than 1%.

10:08 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Percentage price change ≈ -modified duration × Δyield = -7.2 × 0.0025 = -0.018 or -1.8%. Option A flips the sign; B assumes 100 bps change; D ignores sensitivity to small yield shifts, a common misconception.

10:08 ✓✓

Green Finance and Sustainable Funding

Question 2

What is a key benefit of a sustainability-linked loan (SLL) compared to a green bond?

10:08 ✓✓

A SLLs require less frequent reporting and no third-party verification.

B SLLs fund specific green projects with ring-fenced proceeds.

C SLLs align financing costs with overall ESG performance, not just project spending. ✓

D SLLs are always cheaper because they attract ESG-focused lenders.

10:08 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
SLLs incentivize corporate-wide ESG improvements via pricing adjustments (e.g., Enel’s 2019 SLL tied to carbon targets). Option A is false—SLLs require verification. Option B describes green bonds, not SLLs. Option D is incorrect—cost depends on risk and covenants.

Risk-Adjusted Performance Measures for Investment Centers

Question 3

A company calculates EVA for two divisions. Division A has positive EVA, Division B negative. What is the most appropriate managerial response?

10:08 ✓✓

A Immediately close Division B to stop value destruction.

B Invest more in Division A and investigate whether Division B can improve its NOPAT or reduce capital usage. ✓

C Reallocate all capital from Division B to Division A regardless of strategic fit.

D Abandon EVA because negative values indicate a flawed model.

10:08 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Positive EVA indicates value creation; negative suggests underperformance. Response should be strategic—support strong performers and diagnose weak ones. Option A and C are overly drastic; D rejects a valid tool due to misinterpretation.

10:08 ✓✓
