Many of the Tools of Risk Management Can Be Developed $\Delta$

question 3

Multiple Choice

Many of the tools of risk management can be developed by focusing on computing a loss distribution.Denote the time t value of a firm's assets,liabilities,and equity by A_t,L_t,and E_t,respectively.If $\Delta$ denotes a change in these quantities,and x denotes a predetermined value,then the risk measurement problem may be set up as:

• A) computing Prob {\(\Delta\)E_t \(\le\) x}where \(\Delta\)E_t \(\equiv\)\(\Delta\)A_t - \(\Delta\)L_t
• B) computing Prob {\(\Delta\)E_t \(\le\) x}where \(\Delta\)E_t \(\equiv\) \(\Delta\)A_t +\(\Delta\)L_t
• C) computing Prob {\(\Delta\)A_t \(\le\) x}where \(\Delta\)A_t \(\equiv\) \(\Delta\)E_t - \(\Delta\)L_t
• D) computing Prob {\(\Delta\)L_t \(\le\) x}where \(\Delta\)L_t \(\equiv\) \(\Delta\)A_t -\(\Delta\)E_t
• E) None of these answers are correct.
