a. RNB's Capital/asset ratio:
The following are assets of the bank: (in $ Million)
U.S. Treasury bills | $35 |
Mortgage-backed securities | $30 |
C&I loans | $67 |
Discount loans | $5 |
Cash items in the process of collection | $10 |
Municipal bonds | $5 |
Bank building | $4 |
Total Assets | $156 |
The following are liabilities of the bank: (in $ Million)
Demand deposits | $65 |
Loans from other banks | $8 |
NOW accounts | $42 |
Savings accounts | $10 |
Reserve deposits with Federal Reserve | $8 |
Total Liabilities | $133 |
Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities = $156-$133=$23 Million
Capital Asset ratio = Capital/Total Assets
Capital includes Equity (knows as Tier I capital) and also any reserves maintained by the bank (known as Tier II
capital)
Thus, Capital = Equity + Reserve deposits with Federal Reserve = $23+$8 = $31
Thus, Capital Asset ratio = Capital/Total Assets = $31/$156 = 19.87%.
Capital requirement is 10% and with Capital Asset ratio at 19.87%, the bank meets the requirement.
b. RNB's capital/risk adjusted assets:
To arrive at the risk adjusted asset, we need to calculate risk weighted asset by applying the risk factor against each of the asset. Wherever, risk factor is not mentioned, that is for Discount loans, Cash items in the process of collection & Bank building, the risk factor for these assets will be taken as 0 as there are no risk.
Risk adjusted asset = $72.6 as per below:
Value | Risk Factor | Risk Adjusted assets (Value * Risk Factor) | |
U.S. Treasury bills | $35 | 0.1 | $3.5 |
Mortgage-backed securities | $30 | 0.5 | $15.0 |
C&I loans | $67 | 0.8 | $53.6 |
Discount loans | $5 | 0 | $0.0 |
Cash items in the process of collection | $10 | 0 | $0.0 |
Municipal bonds | $5 | 0.1 | $0.5 |
Bank building | $4 | 0 | $0.0 |
Total Assets | $156 | $72.6 |
RNB's capital/risk adjusted assets = Capital / Risk adjusted asset = $31/$72.6 = 42.70%
Capital requirement of this ratio is 25% and with Capital Risk adjusted Asset ratio at 42.70%, the bank meets the requirement.
