This is what i found Answer 1
Risk-Adjusted Asset Base
The calculation of the risk-adjusted asset base for a bank is as below-
Risk-adjusted asset = (Cash × 0%) + (municipal security × 20%) + (home mortgages × 50%) + (Commercial loans × 100%)
= (20 × 0%) + (100 × 20%) + (500 × 50%) + (300$ × 100%)
= 0 + 20 + 250 + 300
= $570 million
The outcome shows that the risk-adjusted or weighted asset based for the bank will be $570 million.
Tier1 and Tier 2 Capital:
If the bank has no off-balance sheet activity then minimum required level of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital will be-
Tier 1 capital = Risk-weighted asset × 4%
= $570 × 4%
= $22.8 million
Tier 2 capital = Maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted asset
= $570 × 1.25%
= $7.125 million
Total capital = $22.8 + $7.125 => $29.925 million
The outcomes indicate that the minimum required level of Tier1 and Tier
2 capital is $22.8 million and $7.125 million for the bank.
Bank Comply with Capital Requirements:
If the bank has Tier 1 capital of $25 million and Tier 2 capital of $15
million then it will comply with its capital requirements of $29.925
million. It is because in this situation, total capital of bank is $37
million that is higher than the above calculated capital of $29.925
million.
Impact of off-Balance Sheet Activities on Capital Requirements
The addition of off-balance sheet activities might increase the capital
requirement of the bank. It is because an off-balance sheet items is a
financial contract that can create credit loss for the company due to
credit risk. So, in case of adding off-balance sheet activities, a bank
will require more capital to cover credit loss. Along with this, it can
also increase the minimum ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets from
8% and in that situation; the bank will need more capital (Carmichael
& Graham, 2012).
Answer 2
Probability of Repayment and Risk Premium
A).
If the rate on a one-year treasury bill is 6% and in case of loan
default, no payments are expected on financial securities then the
probability of repayment and the risk premium on 1 year AA-rated loan
yielding 9 percent will be-
Probability of Repayment:
The following formula can be useful to determine probability of repayment.
P = (1 + I) / (1 + k)
Where,
I = 6%
k = 9%
Then, ...you have $2.19 left :D
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question is option E) 9.06% .
Explanation:
Here the cost of equity given is - 11.8%
Pre tax cost of debt- 6.9%
Tax rate- 35%
So the after tax cost of debt - 6.9% x 65%
= 4.485%
The debt to equity ratio - .6
So the weight of debt - .6 / ( 1 + .06 )
= .375
Weight of equity - 1 / ( 1 + .06 )
= .625
Weighted average cost of capital =
Debts cost x weight of debt + Equity cost x weight of equity
= 4.485 x .375 + 11.8 x .625
= 1.681875 + 7.735
= 9.06%
Answer:
The NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
As the NPV is positive, the project should be accepted.
Explanation:
The Net Present Value or NPV is a tool used to evaluate projects. It is used with various other tools to decide whether to undertake a project or not. To calculate the Net Present Value or NPV, we take the present value of the cash inflows provided by the project and deduct the initial cost of the project. If the NPV is positive, we should proceed with the project and vice versa.
NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Cost
Where,
- CF1, CF2, ... represents cash flow in Year 1, Year 2 and so on.
- r is the required rate of return
NPV = 3200 / (1+0.17) + 3200 (1+0.17)^2 + 3200 (1+0.17)^3 +
3200 (1+0.17)^4 + 5700 (1+0.17)^5 - 9800
NPV = $1578.185602 rounded off to $1578.19
Answer:
Everyone involved in the transaction
Explanation:
As an agent of the seller, the broker has a fiduciary duty with the seller (principal) to act of behalf of his/her best interest.
But the broker must also act honestly with the buyer, if the broker closes a deal using dishonest or unfair practices, e.g. forging documents, then the buyer might claim damages from both the broker and the seller.
And of course the broker should also make sure that his/her own rights are respected and his/her work is properly paid.
