In a recent year, a bank earned $36 million in interest on its assets of $523 million, it paid out $9 million in interest on its liabilities (excluding capital) of $470 million, and it paid its workers $21.5 million in total compensation. Calculate the bank's spread and its return on equity.

What will be an ideal response?


Spread = 36/523 ? 9/470 = 4.0% approximately. Profit = $36 ? $9 ? $21.5 = $5.5 millionEquity capital = $523 ? $470 = 53; ROE = 5.5/53 = 10.4%
