Group of answer choices $700,000 -$1,140,000 $1,140,000 $0 -$700,000

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,140,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the bank's NII will change by

First step is to calculate the bank's one-year repricing gap

Using this formula

Repricing gap=RSAs - RSLs

Where,

RSAs =Securities+Short-term loans

RSLs =Variable-rate Deposits+Fed funds

Let plug in the formula

($ Million)

Repricing gap=[$300 + $225] - [$260 + $75]

Repricing gap=$190

Now let calculate what the bank's NII will change by

Using this formula

Change in bank's NII=Repricing gap*Interest rates

Let plug in the formula

Change in bank's NII=$190,000,000*0.0060

Change in bank's NII =$1,140,000

Therefore If the spread effect is zero and all interest rates increase 60 basis points, the bank's NII will change by $1,140,000
