A
$20,000
B
$500,000
C
$10,000
D
$51,800
Explanation:
The expected loss is calculated by multiplying the probability of default (PD) by the loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD).
Calculation:
Expected Loss = PD × LGD × EAD
= 2% × 50% × 1,000,000
= $10,000
Explanation:
- Probability of default (PD) = 2% = 0.02
- Loss given default (LGD) = 50% = 0.50
- Exposure at default (EAD) = $1,000,000
The Z-Score (1.645) and Standard deviation (2.59) are not needed for calculating expected loss, as they are typically used for calculating unexpected loss or value at risk measures.
