-$60,000. |
-$140,000. |
+$140,000. |
+$60,000. |
+$800,000. |
Answer: the correct option is $60000
Given that the company refinanced its liabilities at 6.0%
Here net interest income is calculated as;
Net interest income=(Interest earning assets × Interest rate
earned)-(Interest bearing liabilities*Refinance rate)
Interest earning assets=$5 million=$5000000
Interest rate earned=6%
Interest bearing liabilities=$4 million=$4000000
Refinance rate=6%
Substituting the values in the equation of net interest
income.
Net interest income=$5000000*6%-$4000000*6%
=$300000-$240000=$60000
