115 * .04 * (1-.35) = 2.99

72 * .07 * (1-.2) = 4.032

2.99 + 4.032 = 7.022 Answer B

I assumed it’s asking for loss at maturity so I added the interest payment. If you do it at inception, you get a lower number but B would still be the answer you’d choose.

Prob of default * Exposure at default * Loss given default

so basically

Probability of default * (Principal plus interest) * (1 - Recovery Rate)

Yup 15% interest on the 100 mio and 20% on the 60 mio.
