Suppose Chase holds a $200 million loan from Argentina, which is quoted on the London secondary market at a buy-ask price of 91-93.
(1).If a bank had the opportunity to sell a loan to an investment bank at a 7 per cent discount, what would be the after-tax profit balance from doing so, compared with selling the loan in the secondary market? The tax rate shall be 40%.
(2). The investment bank then sold the loan at a 6% discount to a real estate company that was planning to build apartments in Argentina. What is its profit after tax?
(3). The real estate company converted the loan into pesos in a debt-equity swap organized by the Argentine government. The official exchange rate of the peso to the U.S. dollar is P1.05/S. The market exchange rate is P1.10/S. How much can a real estate company save by investing in the form of debt-equity swap than by directly investing $200 million at the market exchange rate?
