The bank starts with $600 in bank capital. It then accepts $9,400 in deposits. The reserve requirement is 18%, and the bank decides to keep an extra 7% of deposits as excess reserves. The bank uses the rest of the assets to provide loans. a) Show the balance sheet of the bank. Find the leverage ratio. b) Suppose the bank's largest depositor withdraws $1,400. The bank decides to restore its reserve ratio by reducing the amount of loans. Show the new balance sheet of the bank. Find the new leverage ratio. c) Why might it be difficult for the bank to take this action? Describe another way the bank can return to its original reserve ratio. d) Following the events of part (b), the borrowers defaulted on 5% of loans from the bank. So, these loans become worthless, and bank capital is used to adjust for this event. Show the new balance sheet of the bank. Find the new leverage ratio.

Consider that there is only one bank and its balance sheet is as shown. Let rrD = 10%. If $100 in demand deposits were withdrawn this will deplete the bank's reserves and they will have to sell off some of its loan portfolio to make up the difference and to restore the reserves that are still required for the remaining deposit balance. After the bank has restored equilibrium, what would be the remaining loan balance? Assets Liabilities Reserves $60 Demand Deposits $500 Loans $440 O $320 O $360 O $400 O $200 O It cannot be determined precisely, but it would be less than $100.
The following graph shows a hypothetical demand function for federal funds. Currently, the total amount of reserves in the banking system is $50 billion, the discount rate is 3.5 percent, and interest on reserves equals IOR = 1 percent. If demand for federal funds increases by $40 billion, the equilibrium fed funds rate will equal: Federal Funds Rate (FFR) 5.50% 5.00% 4.50% 4.00% 3.50% 3.00% 2.50% 2.00% 1.50% 1.00% 0.50% 0.00% SO $10 O a.

Squeezed at home by razor-thin margins and negative interest rates, Japanese banks have more than doubled borrowing and lending in dollars since 2017. Why is this practice risky? Japanese banks are exposed to liquidity risks due to difficulty in pulling funds out of foreign countries in a short time period. Japanese banks are exposed to interest rate risks due to uncontrollable rate changes outside the jurisdiction of Japanese central bank. Japanese banks are exposed to default risks due to lending to foreign borrowers. Japanese banks are exposed to exchange rate risks due to mismatched assets and liabilities in different currencies.
