Explanation / Answer
Solution 2:
Risk adjusted on balance sheet asset = $80 * 0 = 0
municipal lgeneral obligation bond = 100*.5 = 50
Residential mortgage = 220*.5 = 110
Commercial loan 500*1 = 500
Total = 660
Solution 3:
Total capital required on and off balance sheet items :
Standby LC = $ 50 *.5 = 25 = 25
Foreigh exchange contract
Potential exposure = 50*.05 = 2.5
Current exposure out of the money 2
Interest rate swap :
Potential exposure 300*.005 = 1.5
Current out of the money = 0
Total = 6 *.5 = 3
Total risk adjusted = 25+ 3+660 = 688 *.08 =$ 55.04million capital required.
