Assets Liabilities Cash 123 Transaction deposits 572 Deposits at Fed 369 Money Market Deposits 4,032 Securities 1,347 Savings Deposits 3,121 Loans 8,667 Time Deposits 1,947 Federal Funds lent 0 Federal Funds borrowed 47 Other assets 627 Other borrowed funds 217 Other liabilities 182Explanation / Answer
1. Reserve will only be created for Transaction deposites only.
$0 to $14.5 million = 0%
$14.5 million to $103.6 million = 3%
More than $103.6 million = 10%
Total Reserve required = [(103.6 - 14.5) x 3%] + [(572 - 103.6) x 10%] = $49.513 million
2. Equity capital of bank includes Cash, Government Securities, Interest earning loans, inter-bank loans. Thus,
Equity Capital = 123 + 1,347 + 8,667 = $10,137
3. Total Assets = 123 + 369 + 1,347 + 8,667 + 627 = $11,133
Leverge Ratio = Equity Capital/Total Assets = 91%
4. Net Income = 11,133 x 1.59% = $177.01 million
ROE = 177.01/10,137 = 1.75%
