First let us identify if the asset is a gain
or loss. An asset is a gain if it contributes to the banks overall finance while
it is a loss if it is a cost directly or indirectly.
Deposits of $300 million = Gain (+)
Reserves of $20 million = Gain (+)
<span>Purchased government bonds worth $300 million
= Loss (-) ---> This entails
cost</span>
Selling bank’s loans at current market value
of $600 million = Gain (+)
Therefore adding up everything to get the banks net worth:
Stealth banks net worth = $300 M + $20 M - $300 M + $600 M
<span>Stealth banks net

Explanation:
The interest rate is the amount a lender charges for the use of assets expressed as a percentage of the principal. The interest rate is a rate of return that lenders demand for the ability to borrow their money. A loan that is considered high risk will have a higher interest rate. Interest rates are prices for loanable funds prices of funds invested, lent out or borrowed for various periods of time.
The supplier or lender of funds normally wants to earn an income and the user or borrower will generally be prepared to pay for the right to use the accumulated funds.
Interest rates apply to most lending or borrowing transactions. Individuals borrow money to purchase homes, fund projects, launch or fund businesses, or pay for college tuition.
The expected return on this portfolio will be given by:
E[P]=Rf+(E[Rm]-Rf)β
Where:
Rf=Risk Free interest rate
Rm=Return on the market portfolio
β= Market Beta
The return on our portfolio will be:
E[p]=0.043+(0.128-0.043)0.013
=0.043+0.085*0.013
=0.044105
=4.4105%
