To be 99% sure that the bank will have positive equity at the end of the year, we need to
find the value X where the profit plus equity is greater than zero, given the normal
distribution parameters.
Mean=0.8%
Standard deviation=2%
The z-value for 99% confidence is 2.33.
X=Mean+(z × Standard deviation)
X=0.8%+(2.33×2%)
X=0.8%+4.66%
X=5.46% Terms of use

QUESTION 1
1.1.
To be 99% sure that the bank will have positive equity at the end of the year, we need
to find the value X where the profit plus equity is greater than zero, given the normal
distribution parameters.
Mean=0.8%
Standard deviation=2%
The z-value for 99% confidence is 2.33.
X=Mean+(z × Standard deviation)
X=0.8%+(2.33×2%)
X=0.8%+4.66%
X=5.46%
Therefore, the bank needs 5.46% equity as a percentage of assets to be 99% sure it
will have positive equity at the end of the year.
