2) In class, we constructed a CDO utilizing three bonds. We saw that by utilizing “pooling”, and “prioritizing” default claims, we created securities with attractive characteristics. Essentially, we “re-packaged” existing debt that is “pari passu” into priority claims on the collateral of the pool. The result is, a portion of the issued debt has reduced probability of default and is of higher quality than the collateral of the pool – that securitizes the debt. (75 points)

1) The collateral has a total value of 400 with 100 allocated to each bond
2) Bonds are risky, speculative grade bonds

4) At maturity, each bond pays 100
5) Each bond has a 15% probability of default
6) Each bond has a 30% recovery rate
