d. 0.08
D. 0.08%
Net Interest Margin (NIM) = (Interest Income - Interest Expense) / Interest Earning Assets
Given,
NIM = 1.50%
Interest Earning Assets = 30 Million OMR
Interest Bearing Assets = 20.4 Million OMR
Interest Expense = 900,000 OMR = 0.9 Million OMR
Net Interest Margin (NIM) = (Interest Income - Interest Expense) / Interest Earning Assets
1.5% = (Interest Income - 0.9) / 30
1.5 x 30 /100 = Interest Income - 0.9
0.45 = Interest Income - 0.9
Interest Income = 0.45 + 0.90 = 1.35 Million OMR
Spread =Interest Income / Interest Earning Assets - Interest Expense / Interest Bearing liabilities
= 1.35/ 30 - 0.9/20.4
= 0.4500 - 0.044
= 0.088%
