Answer: $300,000
Explanation:
One year Rate Sensitive Assets (RSA) = Short term consumer loans (one year maturity) + Three month treasury bills + Six month treasury notes + 30 year floating rate mortgages ( rate adjusted every nine months)
= 150 + 130 + 135 + 140
= $555 million
One Year Rate Sensitive liabilities (RSL) = Three month CDs + Three month bankers acceptances + Six month commercial paper + One year time deposits
= 140 + 120 + 160 + 120
= $540 million
RSA - RSL = 555 - 540 = $15 million
Change in interest income = Difference between RSA and RSL * change in interest rates
= 15,000,000 * 2%
= $300,000
