Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1VQP
To determine
How the capital can be viewed as a buffer against insolvency.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
The difference between the assets and liabilities of a bank is its capital or total net worth. If the total liabilities of a bank exceed its total assets, then it leads to the problem of bankruptcy. Suppose the assets value of a bank declines, then its positive net worth helps to overcome this problem. A higher net worth of a bank is associated with a bigger buffer against insolvency. In this way, the capital acts as a buffer against insolvency.
