Module: | MODULE B: RISK MANAGEMENT
Q262: A bank sanctions a corporate loan of ₹100 crore. The net income generated from this specific loan, after deducting all operating expenses and Expected Loss (EL) provisions, is ₹2 crore. To absorb the Unexpected Loss (UL) statistically associated with this transaction, the bank allocates an internal economic capital of ₹8 crore. Calculate the Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital (RAROC) for this transaction.
✅ Correct Answer: C
The correct answer is C (25.00%). RAROC (Risk-Adjusted Return on Capital) is a foundational metric used to evaluate the true profitability of a transaction after accounting for risk.
The formula is: RAROC = (Net Income after Operating Expenses & Expected Loss) / (Economic Capital Allocated for Unexpected Loss). In this scenario, the principal loan amount of ₹100 crore is a distractor and is not directly divided.
The Net Income is ₹2 crore.
The Economic Capital allocated to cover the risk (Unexpected Loss) of this specific loan is ₹8 crore.
Calculation: 2 / 8 = 0.25.
Converting this to a percentage yields 25.00%. Option A is incorrect as it only looks at the absolute income figure without considering capital.
Option B and D represent incorrect mathematical combinations of the provided data.
