Question

Two depository institutions have composite CAMELS ratings of 1 or 2 and are ‘well capitalized.’ Thus, each institution falls into the FDIC Risk Category I deposit insurance assessment scheme. Further, the institutions have the following financial ratios and CAMELS ratings: Use Table.

	Institution 1			Institution 2
Tier I leverage ratio (%)		8.78			7.91
Loans past due 30–89 days/gross assets (%)		0.61			0.72
Nonperforming assets/gross assets (%)		0.51			0.66
Net loan charge-offs/gross assets (%)		0.44			0.48
Net income before taxes/risk-weighted assets (%)		2.31			2.02
Adjusted brokered deposits ratio (%)		0.00			15.72
CAMELS components:
C		2			1
A		2			2
M		1			2
E		2			1
L		1			1
S		2			1

	Pricing Multiplier
Uniform Amount	4.861
Tier I leverage ratio (%)	(0.056)
Loans past due 30-89 days/gross assets (%)	0.575
Nonperforming assets/gross assets (%)	1.074
Net loan charge-offs/gross assets (%)	1.210
Net income before taxes/risk-weighted assets (%)	(0.764)
Adjusted brokered deposits ratio (%)	0.065
Weighted average CAMELS component ratings	1.095

Calculate the initial deposit insurance assessment rate for each institution. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.161))

	Institution 1	Institution 2
Initial assessment rate

Answer 1

Steps :

1. Calculate the weighted average CAMEL component

2. Calculate the assessment rate and use the weighted average camel component rate to obtain the CAMEL component ratings.

Step 1

We are assuming the following percentage for determining the insurance assessment for CAMELS :

Weighted Average Camels Components

Here are the values :

Step 2

Here are the calculations for the initial assessment rate :

Here are the values :

The initial deposit Insurance Assessment Rate of Institution A is 7 and of Institution B is 8.
