Core Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital is $1,000,000, additional Tier I capital is $340,000, and Tier II capital is $424,000. The current value of the CET1 ratio is 4.55 percent, the Tier I ratio is 6.09 percent, and the total capital ratio is 8.02 percent.

Explanation / Answer

Current CET1 ratio = 4.55%

Risk weighted assets = $1,000,000/4.55% = $22,000,000

Total capital = $1,000,000 + $340,000 + $424,000 = $1,764,000

a.

New CET1 = $1,000,000 - $112,000 = $888,000

New Tier I capital = $888,000 + $340,000 = $1,228,000

New Total Capital = $1,228,000 + $424,000 = $1,652,000

Cash has a 0 risk weight so risk-weighted assets do not change.

Thus,

CET1 ratio = $888,000 / $22,000,000 = 4.04%

Tier I ratio = $1,228,000 / $22,000,000 = 5.58%

Total capital ratio = $1,652,000 / $22,000,000 = 7.51%

c.

T-bills have a 0 risk weight so risk-weighted assets remain unchanged. Thus, both ratios remain unchanged.

e.

Tier I capital is unchanged.

Total capital = $1,764,000 + $2,200,000 = $3964,000

General obligation municipal bonds fall into the 20 percent risk category.

So, risk-weighted assets = $22,000,000 + ($2,200,000 * 0.20) = 22,440,000

CET1 Ratio = $1,000,000 / $22,440,000 = 4.46%

Tier 1 Ratio = $1,340,000 / $22,440,000 = 5.97%
