Objective

1.To demonstrate mastery of building and using Excel models via a written, comprehensive report. 

2.To demonstrate effective writing/communication skills by explaining the use and what-functionality of an Excel model, using clear and concise writing and screenshots where appropriate.

•For each model, you should include a

  o description of the model(what is it and what it does)

  o How the model might be useful to you, your company, a coworker, your boss, your client. Talk about and demonstrate the “what-if” functionality model has. 

•You should include screenshots of your model to help the reader understand what you are describing(keep the reader engaged).

•Keep in mind you could share this report with potential future employers to display your knowledge of Excel and your ability to present information in writing.

•Include as much detail as you deemed appropriate for your audience (potential boss). 

• There is an increase in the C/CD ratio because people start to hold more currency.Will this lead to a change in GDP?Explain and diagrammatically represent your answer.
• The Fed wants to lower the federal funds rate, which is currently 3 percent, to somewhere in the range of 2.0 – 2.5 percent.Explain how the Fed goes about doing this today using the IOR and ON-RRP rates.In the process of explaining your answer, make sure to explain what banks and nonbank financial institutions will do in response to whatever it is that you have the Fed do.

• The yield curve is currently upward sloping.Does it follow that the market currently believes that future short-term interest rates will be rising?Explain your answer.Both a numerical example and a graph will help in answering this question.
• “The bond market and the housing market are similar in some respects.Specifically, in equilibrium it could very well be said that no house and no bond is any better than any other house and any other bond once all factors have been taken into consideration.”Do you agree with this statement?Explain and diagrammatically (especially with respect to the bond market) represent your answer.

• “Banks will always prefer a low to high capital-to-asset ratio.”Do you agree or disagree with this statement.Explain your answer.A numerical example will help in answering this question.

• The actual inflation rate in the country has recently risen.Two questions: (a) How would you go about determining whether the (market’s) expected inflation rate has also risen?(b) If you determine that the expected inflation rate has risen, then what will this do to the price of bonds and to interest rate?Explain and diagrammatically represent your answer.

• The Fed wants to lower the federal funds rate, which is currently 3 percent, to somewhere in the range of 2.0 – 2.5 percent.Explain how the Fed goes about doing this today using the IOR and ON-RRP rates.In the process of explaining your answer, make sure to explain what banks and nonbank financial institutions will do in response to whatever it is that you have the Fed do.
