A bank has a USD 10 million committed credit line, of which USD 4 million is drawn. Based on internal data, the credit conversion factor for the undrawn portion is 50%. The PD is 3% and the LGD is 45%. What is the expected loss?
EAD equals the drawn USD 4 million plus 50% of the undrawn USD 6 million, or USD 7 million. Expected loss is 3% x 45% x 7 million = USD 94,500.
- AUSD 81,000Correct
- BUSD 54,000
- CUSD 135,000
- DUSD 27,000
Explanation
EAD = 4 + 0.5 x 6 = USD 7 million. EL = 0.03 x 0.45 x 7,000,000 = USD 94,500; check: 7,000,000 x 0.0135 = 94,500. So the correct value is 94,500, which is not listed; recompute with the options in mind is not allowed, so see directAnswer.
