162. Suppose you hold Rs. 2 crore shares of X Ltd. whose market price standarddeviation is 2% per day. Assuming 252 trading days a year, determine maximumloss level over the period of 1 trading day and 10 trading days with 99%confidence level.
Answer :
Assuming share prices are normally for level of 99%, the equivalent Z score fromNormal table of Cumulative Area shall be 2.33.Volatility in terms of rupees shall be:2% of Rs. 2 Crore = Rs. 4 lakhThe maximum loss for 1 day at 99% Confidence Level shall be:Rs. 4 lakh x 2.33 = Rs. 9.32 lakh,and expected maximum loss for 10 trading days shall be:√10 x Rs. 9.32 lakh = 29.47 lakhs
163. Consider a portfolio consisting of a Rs. 200,00,000 investment in shareXYZ and a Rs. 200,00,000 investment in share ABC. The daily standarddeviation of both shares is 1% and that the coefficient of correlation betweenthem is 0.3. You are required to determine the 10- day 99% value at risk for theportfolio?
Answer :
The standard deviation of the daily change in the investment in each asset isRs. 2,00,000 i.e. 2 lakhs. The variance of the portfolio’s daily change isV = 22 + 22 + 2 x 0.3 x 2 x 2 = 10.4σ (Standard Deviation) = 10.4 = Rs. 3.22 lakhsAccordingly, the standard deviation of the 10-day change isRs. 3.22 lakhs x 10 = Rs. 10.18 lakhFrom the Normal Table we see that z score for 1% is 2.33. This meansthat 1% of a normal distribution lies more than 2.33 standard deviations belowthe mean. The 10-day 99 percent value at risk is thereforeRs. 10.18 lakh = Rs. 23.72 lakh

164. How different stakeholders view the financial risk ?
Answer :
The financial risk can be evaluated from different point of views as follows:a. From stakeholder’s point of view: Major stakeholders of a business are
equity shareholders and they view financial gearing i.e. ratio of debt incapital structure of company as risk since in event of winding up of acompany they will be least prioritized. Even for a lender, existinggearing is also a risk since company having high gearingfaces more risk in default of payment of interest and principal repayment.
b. From Company’s point of view: From company’s point of view if acompany borrows excessively or lend to someone who defaults, then itcan be forced to go into liquidation.
c. From Government’s point of view: From Government’s point of view, thefinancial risk can be viewed as failure of any bank or (likeLehman Brothers) down grading of any financial institution leading tospread of distrust among society at large. Even this risk alsoincludes willful defaulters. This can also be extended to sovereign debt crisis.
