Answer:
Applying the credit risk mitigation formula:

E* = max {0, [E x (1 + He) - C x (1 - Hc - Hfx)]}
where:
E* = the exposure value after mitigation
om
E = current value of the exposure for which the collateral qualifies as a risk Mitigant
He = haircut appropriate to the exposure
C = the current value of the collateral received
Hc = haircut appropriate to the collateral
t.c
Hfx = haircut appropriate for currency mismatch between the collateral and exposure
1. b
es
Party - A Ltd
Exposure - 20.00
Rating of Exposure - AA
kt
Risk Weight - 30%
Hair cut for exposure - 0
Collateral value - 30.00
oc
Collateral - Mutual Fund(AA)
m
Maturity of collateral - 2
Hair cut for collateral - 4%
iib
E* = max {0, [20 x (1 + 0) - 20 x (1 – 0.04 - 0 )]}

= max of 0 or [0.80]
ca
Means the collateral value after mitigation = 20 - 0.80 = 19.20

So the net exposure = 20 - 19.20 = 0.80
RWA = 0.80 x Risk weight of exposure which is 30%

Explanations:
w
1. Capital charge = Gross income X 15%

w
Gross income 1st year = net profit + provisions + staff expenses + other operating expenses.
= 600 + 800 + 900 + 1000
w
= 3300
Capital charge = 3300 x 15% = 495 cr

Gross income 2nd year = net profit+ provisions + staff expenses + other operating expenses
= 700 + 800 + 1000 + 1200 = 3700 cr
Capital Charge = 3700 x 15% = 555cr
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Facebook Groups -
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
3. Capital charge = Gross income X l5%.

Gross income for 1st year = 3300 cr
Gross income for 2nd year = 3700 cr
Average gross income = (3300 + 3700)/2
= 7000/2
= 3500 cr
om
4. Capital charge / 11.5 % = 495 / 11.5 % = Rs. 4304 cr

Explanation:
1. Gross income = Net interest income + net non-interest income
t.c
Net interest income = Interest earned - Interest paid
= 50000 – 25000
= 25000
es
Gross income = 25000 + 5000
= 30000
kt
2. Capital charge for operational risk = Gross income x l5%
= 30000 x 15%
oc
= 4500 cr
m
3. RWA = Capital charge / Minimum Basel-3 CAR
RWA = 4500 / 11.5% = 39130 cr
iib
4. Operating profit = Interest earned + other non-interest income + profit on sale of fixed assets +
ca
income on sale of 3 party products - interest paid - operating expense

= 50000 + 5000 + 500 + 200 - 25000 - 10000

1. Tier I CAR should be atleast 6% of total RWAs
= 6% × 55902 = Rs. 3354 crores
Tier I capital is Rs 2500 crores
iib
So, Tier I capital falls short by (3354-2500) = Rs.854 crores

ca
2. The CRAR of the bank = (2500+2000)/(35500+5625+9833+4944)×100

= (4500/55902)×100
= 8.04%
iib
3. Total RWAs for market risk = Rs.(450+190+15+10+150+70)/9/100

= Rs. 9833.33 crores
.ja
4. Uniform risk weight asset is 75% of retail asset portfolio except NPAs
w
= 75% × (8700 - 1200) = Rs. 5625

Now minimum required rate is 9% for the capital required for credit risk
w
So, the capital will be 9% × (35500+5625) = Rs.3700 crores approx.

w
5. Average gross income = (495+450+390)/3

= Rs. 445 crores
Total RWAs for operational risk = 445/0.09

= Rs. 4944.44 crores

Explanation:
1. Gross income = Net interest income + net non-interest income
t.c
= 60000 — 30000 = 30000
Gross income = 30000 + 6000
es

2. Capital charge for operational risk = Gross income x l5%
kt
Gross income = Net interest income + net non-interest income

oc
Gross income = 30000 + 6000 = 36000

Capital charge for operational risk = 36000 x 15%

3. Operating profit = Interest earned + other non-interest income + profit on sale of fixed assets +
income on sale of 3 party products — interest paid — operating expense

Answer:

Applying the credit risk mitigation formula:
m
E* = max {0, [E x (1 + He) - C x (1 - Hc - Hfx)]}
where:
E* = the exposure value after mitigation
iib
E = current value of the exposure for which the collateral qualifies as a risk Mitigant
He = haircut appropriate to the exposure
ca
C = the current value of the collateral received

Hc = haircut appropriate to the collateral
Hfx = haircut appropriate for currency mismatch between the collateral and exposure

10. Risk weight (for a Scheduled CRAR complaint bank) - 20 %
11. Risk weighted assets for CCR (9 x 10) - 64.70 * 20 % = 12.94

Gross income = net profit+ provisions + staff expenses + other operating expenses

c. Rs. 0.64 per Rs. 1,000 of book value.
om
d. None of These
Ans - a
t.c
Solution :
BPV is Change in price (market value) by 1 basis point change in yield (market)
es
Here change in price is
= 117.45 - 116.16
= 1.29
kt
And change in yield
= 8.520 - 8.320
= 0.20
oc
So one basis point change in yield = 0.20 divided by 20
m
= 0.01 %
So as we divide price change also by 20
= 1.29 / 20
iib
= 0.0645

3. Find out the credit risk weighted asset for C Ltd.

Applying the credit risk mitigation formula:

E* = max {0, [20 x (1 + 0) - 20 x (1 – 0.04 - 0 )]}

Means the collateral value after mitigation = 20 - 0.80 = 19.20

Rating of Exposure - BBB

Hair cut for exposure - 0

Collateral - Sovereign Bond

E* = max {0, [40 x (1 + 0) - 40 x (1 – 0.02 - 0 )]}

So the net exposure = 40 - 39.20 = 0.80

E* = max {0, [60 x (1 + 0) - 62 x (1 – 0.15 - 0 )]}
