Question

In the week to come, a bank expects $55 million in incoming deposits, $75 million in acceptable loan requests, $35 million in money market borrowings, $10 million in deposit withdrawals, and $30 million in loan repayments. The bank is expecting a: A. liquidity deficit. B. liquidity surplus. C. balanced liquidity position. D. liquidity reversal. E. None of the above.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. liquidity surplus

Explanation:

The expected cash inflows and outflows of the bank can be summarized using the formula provided below:

Net inflow/(outflow)= incoming deposits-acceptable loan requests+ market borrowings-deposit withdrawals+loan repayments

incoming deposits=$55 million(inflow)

acceptable loan requests=$75 million(outflow)

money market borrowings=$35 million(inflow)

deposit withdrawals= $10 million(outflow)

loan repayment=$30 million(inflow)

Net inflow/(outflow)=$55 million-$75 million+$35 million-$10 million+$30 million

net inflow(outflow)=$35 million

The above net inflow of $35 million represents liquidity surplus
