3. ANT Bank holds a portfolio of bonds with a value of $20,000,000 and duration of 4.0. The portfolio currently yields 5 percent. If the average monthly change in the yield is 0 basis points and the monthly standard deviation of changes in the yield is 50 basis points, what is the portfolio's monthly VAR at the 95\% confidence level? Assume normal distribution of yield changes (the appropriate critical value is 1.65). (1 point)
