Answer:
A) an increase; reduce
Explanation:
All else the same ,if a bank liabilities are more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations than are its assets, then an increase in interest rates will reduce bank profits.

Answer:
0.73
Explanation:
Given that
WACC = 11%
Tax rate = 34%
Cost of equity = 14.9 %
Cost of debt = 8.6%
Recall that
WACC = (cost of equity × % of equity) + (cost of debt × % of debt) + ( 1 - tax rate)
We are to find
Cost of debt and cost of equity
Let
Cost of debt be x
Cost of equity be (1 - x)
Thus,
0.11 = (1 - x)(0.149) + (x)(0.086)(1 - 0.34)
x = 0.4228
Therefore,
Debt-equity ratio
= Cost of debt/cost of equity
= 0.4228/(1 - 0.4228)
= 0.73
