It assessed the following costs for six individual services. The use of these services in2017 by three customers is as follows:Assume Lindenand Gonzalez always maintain a balance above $1,000, whereas Whitner always has a balance below $1,000.
Depositors receive a 2% annual interest rate on their average deposit.
NSB earns an interest rate spread of 3% (the difference between the rate at which it lends money and the rate it pays depositors) by lending money for home-loan purposes at 5%. Thus, NSB would gain $60 on the interest spread if a depositor had an average Premier Account balance of $2,000 in
2017 ($2,000 x 3% = $60).
The Premier Account allows depositors unlimited use of services such as deposits, withdrawals, checking accounts, and foreign currency drafts.…

- Customers as a Cost Object Morrisom National Bank has requested an analysis of checking account profitability by customer type. Customers are categorized according to the size of their account: low balances, medium balances, and high balances. The activities associated with the three different customer categories and their associated annual costs are as follows: Additional data concerning the usage of the activities by the various customers are also provided: Required: (Note: Round answers to two decimal places.) 1. Calculate a cost per account per year by dividing the total cost of processing and maintaining checking accounts by the total number of accounts. What is the average fee per month that the bank should charge to cover the costs incurred because of checking accounts? 2. Calculate a cost per account by customer category by using activity rates. 3. Currently, the bank offers free checking to all of its customers. The interest revenues average 90 per account; however, the interest revenues earned per account by category are 80, 100, and 165 for the low-, medium-, and high-balance accounts, respectively. Calculate the average profit per account (average revenue minus average cost from Requirement 1). Then calculate the profit per account by using the revenue per customer type and the unit cost per customer type calculated in Requirement 2. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION After the analysis in Requirement 3, a vice president recommended eliminating the free checking feature for low-balance customers. The bank president expressed reluctance to do so, arguing that the low-balance customers more than made up for the loss through cross-sales. He presented a survey that showed that 50% of the customers would switch banks if a checking fee were imposed. Explain how you could verify the presidents argument by using ABC.arrow_forwardEstablish a line of credit with the bank at an intrest rate of 10%.

- Finance Calculating the Cost of Credit Card Purchases Directions Use the interest rate of 18% and an annual fee of $49 to complete this chart. In Month 1, there was a balance due of $3,000. The borrower will make a monthly payment of $200 and keep new purchases of goods and services at $115 per month for the year. Month 1 Calculate the interest for each month (balance x 1.5%). To obtain the balance for the next month, subtract the payment from the balance and add cost of new purchases plus monthly interest and fee. For example: $3,000 - $200 = $2800+ $115 + $94 = $3,009.
