a. | |||||||||||||
Total available liquidity | Value of T-bills + Value of line of credit + Cash reserve with Fed | ||||||||||||
Total available liquidity | $18 million + $12 million + $12 million | ||||||||||||
Total available liquidity | $42 | million | |||||||||||
b. | |||||||||||||
Current total uses of liquidity | Amount borrowed in fed funds + Fed discount window | ||||||||||||
Current total uses of liquidity | $14 million + $10 million | ||||||||||||
Current total uses of liquidity | $24 | million | |||||||||||
c. | |||||||||||||
Net liquidity of DI | Total available liquidity - Current uses of liquidity | ||||||||||||
Net liquidity of DI | 42 million - 24 million | ||||||||||||
Net liquidity of DI | $18 | million | |||||||||||
d. | |||||||||||||
We can conculate that DI has net liquidity of $18 million which mean unexpected withdrawal up to $18 million can be afforded by DI without reducing its liquid assets at fire sale price. | |||||||||||||
Fire sale price mean at lessor price in order to receive cash immediately for unexpected cash withdrawal. | |||||||||||||
