A commercial bank in Barbados faces serious liquidity problems; however, they have an asset that has the required value to meet their debt obligations. However, due to poor economic conditions, they may not get a buyer in time to purchase such an asset at their preferred price, so they may end up losing money for selling that asset lower than their preferred price, or if they choose not to sell the asset, they will not be able to meet their financial obligation. Which of the following strategy is best suited to manage the bank’s liquidity risk?
Select one:
a.
Interest rate swaps
b.
Stress Tests
c.
Diversifying
d.
Hedging
In certain scenerios, some companies may choose to finance with a bank loan specifically because of the deductibility of interest. It could lower their taxable income enough (assuming it is not a corporation at the current 21% flat rate) to put them in a lower tax bracket. This means they could end up paying less money after interest and taxes are paid.
It is interesting that bank interest could be utilized as a cash flow strategy!
Do you think this is something many finance managers may consider?
If Bank A sells some its loans to Bank B for cash, everything else equal:
bank a becomes less liquid while bank b becomes more liquid
bank a's liabilities decrease by the amount of the loans that are sold
bank A's assets decrease and bank b's assets increase
banks a's total assets do not change, but bank a is more liquid
