Assume a Bank has the following loan portfolio:
Credit Rating Bank Debt Corporate
Debt
AAA 10,000,000 5,000,000
A 10,000,000 10,000,000
BBB 10,000,000 5,000,000
Risk weightings for these assets are:
Credit Rating Bank Debt Corporate
Debt
AAA 20% 20%
A 50% 50%
BBB 50% 100%
What is the Bank's total risk weighted assets?
A. $23,000,000
B. $23,000
C. $400,000
D. $50,000,000
Correct option is > A. $23,000,000
Total risk weighted asset = Bank debt risk weighted assets + Corporate debt risk weighted assets
Total risk weighted asset = $12,000,000 + $11,000,000
Total risk weighted asset = $23,000,000
WORKING
1.
Bank debt risk weighted asset:
Credit rating |
Risk weight |
Bank debt |
AAA |
20% |
10,000,000 |
A |
50% |
10,000,000 |
BBB |
50% |
10,000,000 |
Bank debt risk weighted asset = 20% x 10000000 + 50% x 10000000 + 50% x 10000000
= $ 12,000,000
2.
Corporate debt risk weighted asset:
Credit rating |
Risk weight |
Corporate debt |
AAA |
20% |
5,000,000 |
A |
50% |
10,000,000 |
BBB |
100% |
5,000,000 |
Corporate debt risk weighted asset = 20% x 5000000 + 50% x 10000000 + 100% x 5000000
= 11,000,000
