Answer 1

a)

Dollar value of MHM's earning assets = Investment Securities + Net Loans

= $6,200 + $3,050 + $20,180

= $29,430

Therefore, dollar value of MHM's earning assets are $29,430.

b)

Dollar value of Interest-Bearing Liabilities = Small time deposits + Jumbo CDs + Federal funds purchased

= $10,410 + $7,730 + $530

= $18,670

Therefore, dollar value of Interest-Bearing Liabilities are $18,670.

c)

Spread = (Interest Income/Earning assets*100) - (Interest Expense/Interest-Bearing Liabilities*100)

= ($4,168/$29,430*100) - ($2,134/$18,670*100)

= 14.16% - 11.43%

= 2.73%

Therefore, MHM's spread is 2.73%.

d)

Interest expense ratio = Interest Expense/(Interest Income + Non-Interest Income)*100

= $2,134/($4,168 + $760)*100

= $2,134/$4,928*100

=  43.30%

Therefore, Interest expense ratio is 43.30%.
