A small Midwest U. S. bank is worried about potential falling rates that may affect its residential mortgage-backed business. The bank is worried that falling rates may increase the prepayment speeds as homeowners will likely refinance of their mortgage as yields fall. This will likely leave the bank underwriting loans at lower yields. While the bank has other small business and consumer loans, the bank's mortgaged backed security portfolio is $10 million. The average duration of the loans is approximately the same as the ten-year U. S. Treasury note. While the bank is worried about falling rates, it still puts the likelihood of falling rates at 50%.Recommend a derivative strategy to the bank based on the above scenarios. Requirements1. You may use any futures contract or futures option contract. Max futures or futures option expiration of 6 months from today.2. Submit a one-page client letter detailing the contract specifics, number of contracts, and calculations to get to your final recommendation. Make sure your calculations are detailed and correct. I will be grading for exact hedge amounts.3. Comment on why this is a best strategy for the client

Amathematical approximation called the rule of 70 tells us that the number of years that it will take something that is growing to double in size is approximately equal to the number 70 divided by its percentage rate of growth. thus, if mexico's real gdp per person is growing at 7 percent per year, it will take about 10 years(=70/7) to double. apply the rule of 70 to solve the following problem. real gdp per person in mexico in 2005 was about $11,000 per person, while it was about $44,000 per person in the u. s. if real gdp per person in mexico grows at the rate of 5 percent per year: how long will it take mexico's real gdp per person to reach the level that the united states was at in 2005? (hint: how many times would mexico's 2005 real gdp per person have to double to reach the u. s.'s 2005 real gdp per person?
