Respuesta :

Answer:

6.50 years

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount invested in consumer loans = $75 million

Duration of consumer loan = 3 year

Amount invested in T-Bonds = $39 million

Duration of T-Bonds = 16 year

Amount invested in T-Bills = $39 million

Duration of T-Bills = 6 months

Now,

The duration of the bank's asset portfolio in years

= [tex][\frac{75}{75+39+19.5}\times3] + [\frac{39}{75+39+19.5}\times 16] + [\frac{39}{75+39+19.5}\times 0.5][/tex]

= 6.50

Hence,

The answer is option 6.50 years
