Please use the following additional information for Questions 34-37: Suppose there are three bond ratings: A, B, C and default (D). The ratings-migration probabilities over the next year look like this for a B-rated, 3-year, 4% annual-coupon bond ($100 par value) loan: Rating in 1 year          Probability A                                 0.03 B                                 0.92 C                                 0.03 Default                        0.02 The yield on A rated bonds is 5%; the yield on B rated bonds is 6%; and the yield on a C rated bond is 9%. All term structures are flat (i.e. forward rates equal spot rates). Assume that in default you recover 50% at the time of default. Question: Using the mean as the benchmark, what is the 1-year 5% value-at-risk (VaR) of this bond? 

Consider the following command line: ./myprog.sh 1>&2 2> file.1.txt 3>&2 2> file.2.txt 1>&3 Can you explain to what the STDOUT and STDERR of myprog.sh end up being connected (1pt) and propose the simplest set of redirections that would achieve the same result (1pt).
