Consider a bank with $500 million in loans and $375$375 in deposits. Calculate the bank's net worth.
net worth: $

Calculate the bank's leverage ratio.
leverage ratio:
Suppose that $50 million of the bank's loans fail and become worthless. What is the bank's net worth now?

Imagine that the bank still has $500 million in loans, but now has deposits worth $275.$275. What is the bank's new leverage ratio?

Q(1)
So, in this case, we have been provided with two data sets one is bank with $500 million in loans accounts and $375 in deposits and now to calculate the bank's net worth we have to subtract the total liabilities from the asset that a bank has, as we now for a bank amount deposited is the liabilities for it and amount that he has given for the loan is an asset for him because on that loan the bank will earn profit
Bank's net worth = Total assets (Loan Amount) - Total liabilities (Deposited Amount)
on putting values in the above formula
Bank's net worth = $500 - $375
Bank's net worth = $125
Answer: $125
Q(2)
To calculate the leverage ratio. we take the total liabilities divided by the bank assets which are distributed in the form of loans
leverage ratio = Liabilities/Total assets
on putting a value on the above formula
leverage ratio = $375/$500
leverage ratio = 0.75
Answer : leverage ratio = 0.75
Q(3)
So now in the case when the $50 million of the bank's loans fail and become worthless than in that case bank's net worth would change and will be adjusted for the change
Bank's net worth = Total assets (Loan Amount) - Total liabilities (Deposited Amount)
on putting values in the above formula
Bank's net worth = $450 - $375
Bank's net worth = $75
Answer: $75
Q(4)
Since $50 has been lost due to non-performing assets that the bank has given in the form of loans thus we can say, definitely the rate of return would have decreased and it is calculated by a comparative method by using simple mathematics
initial investment = $500
final investment = $450
thus there is a decrease in the assets by $50 and it has to be replaced by using the deposit we have, thus $50 will be around 13.5% of the deposit we have thus s we can say we have a negative (-13.5%) rate of return
Answer = -- 13.5%
Q(5)
So it is given that now bank has $500 million in loans, and deposits worth $275 then to calculate the leverage ratio, we take the total liabilities divided by the bank assets which are distributed in the form of loans.
leverage ratio = Liabilities/Total assets
on putting a value on the above formula
leverage ratio = $275/$500
leverage ratio = 0.55
Answer : leverage ratio = 0.55
Q(6)
Since $50 has been lost due to non-performing assets that the bank has given in the form of loans thus we can say, definitely the rate of return would have decreased and it is calculated by a comparative method by using simple mathematics
initial investment = $500
final investment = $450
thus there is a decrease in the assets by $50 and it has to be replaced by using the deposit we have, thus $50 will be around 18% of the deposit we have thus s we can say we have a negative (-18%) rate of return
Answer = -- 18%
