Answer:

The explanation is given as follows.

Explanation:

Task 1:

The higher the percentage of assets a bank holds as loans, the higher the capital requirement.

When the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves , both reserves and debt increase by $100 , therefore increase in debt as in any balance sheet , the total value of accounts on the left hand should be equal to the right hand , so when there is increase in reserves , there will be increase in debt.

Task 2:

It specifies a minimum leverage ratio for all banks

leverage ratio initially = total assets / capital = 1750 / 125 = 14

leverage ratio new value = total assets / capital = 1850 / 125 = 14.8 ( the assets increase by $100 with increase in reserves)

Task 3

Its intended goal is to protect the interests of those who hold equity in the bank.

Capital requirement are there to ensure that bank have enough capital to repay the depositors and debtors and if a bank holds a higher percent of risky assets , capital requirements will be higher so that the bank remains solvent hence option a is right answer.

a) Yes, $67 exceeds the loss—minimizing output.

Using the MR

They will produce 9 units.

Profits per unit = $67 - $50 = $17

Total profit = $153.

(b) Yes, $42 exceeds the loss—minimizing output.

Using the MR

They will produce 6 units

Loss per unit is = $42 - $47.50 = $5.50

Total loss = $33 (= 6 x $5.50), which is less than the total fixed cost of $60.

c) No, because $33 is less than AVC. If it did produce, the quantity will be 4—By producing 4 units, it would lose $78 [= 4 ($33 - $52.50)]. and if they didn't produce, it would lose only the total fixed cost of $60.
