XYZ continental bank has assets of $300 million half of which are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations.
However, all its liability of $200 million are interest sensitive.
Calculate its Dollar IS Gap. Relative IS Gap, and IS Rato
Interest sensitive assets = $300 million/2 = $150 million
Interest sensitive liabilities = $200 million
Dollar Interest sensitive gap = Interest sensitive assets - Interest sensitive liabilities = $150 million - $200 million = - $50 million
Relative Interest sensitive gap = Interest sensitive gap/Bank size = -$50 million/$300 million = - 16.67%
Interest sensitivity ratio = Interest sensitive assets/Interest sensitive liabilities = $150 million/$200 million = 0.75
