Interview Questions

3. Situational / Case Question

“Your client Paulson & Co. Inc. is an investment management firm specializing in global merger, event arbitrage and credit strategies. The firm mostly works in the arbitrage business, which is quite lucrative. In economics and finance, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price difference between two or more markets: striking a combination of matching deals that capitalize upon the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices.’

With its arbitrage strategy, the firm has no profitability problem and no competition. The company has 4 senior analysts, 3 junior analysts, and 1 admin. The activities in which they are involved include the initial stage, which comprises 20% of the work, the core stage which is 70% of the work, and the recommendation which is the remaining 10% of the work. These percentages are constant.

How many junior analysts need to be added to free up capacity among the senior analysts, so that they can focus on selling additional work?”
