问题如下:
Anna, FRM, an analyst in Zack Corporation, is determining the value at risk (VaR) for the corporation's profit/loss distribution. The distribution is assumed to be normally distributed with an annual mean of $2 million and a standard deviation of $0.5 million. What is the VaR with a 99% confidence level if a parametric approach is applied?
选项:
A.$0.01 million.
B.$0.33 million.
C.$1.33 million.
D.$2.33 million.
解释:
B is correct.
考点:Parametric Estimation Approaches
解析:
The population mean and standard deviations are unknown; therefore, the standard normal z-value of 2.33 is used for a 99% confidence level.
VaR(1%) = -2.0 million + ($1 million)(2.33) = -2.0 million + 2.33 million =0.33 million.
