1. A bank expects to raise $25 million in new deposits by offering its depositors an interest rate of 7 percent. Management estimates that if the bank offers 7.50 percent interest rate, it can raise $50 million in new deposit money. At 8%, $75 million is expected to flow in, while a posted deposit rate of 8.5 percent will bring in a projected $100 million. Finally, if the bank promises an estimated 9% yield, management projects that $125 million in new funds will result from both new and existing deposits that customers will keep in the bank to take advantage of the higher rates offered. Lets assume as well that management believes it can invest the new deposit money at a yield of 10 percent. Given these facts, what deposit interest rate should the bank offer its customers? a. Marginal cost = Change in total cost = New interest rate x total funds raised at new rate - old interest rate x total funds raised at old rate b. Marginal cost rate = Change in total cost/additional funds raised c. $50 million x 7.5% - $25 million x 7% = $3.75 million - $1.75 million = $2 million d. Marginal cost rate = $2 million/ $25 million = 8% Essay 1. Define, Explain, and give an example of demand deposit accounts. a.
