Question

Bank of the Atlantic has liabilities of $4 million with an average maturity of two years paying interest rates of 4.0 percent annually. It has assets of $5 million with an average maturity of 5 years earning interest rates of 6.0 percent annually. What is the bank's net interest income for the current year

Answer 1

Answer:

the bank net interest income for the current year is $140,000

Explanation:

The computation of the bank net interest income for the current year is shown below:

= (Interest earning assets ×  Interest rate earned)-(Interest bearing liabilities ×  Interest rate rate)

= $5,000,000 × 6% - $4,000,000 × 4%

=$300,000 - $160,000

= $140,000

Hence, the bank net interest income for the current year is $140,000
