6. CALCULATION OF CAPITAL FOR OPERATIONAL RISK

Indian Bank Provides following information:

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
1. What is the amount of capital charge for operational risk, on the basis of 1st Year's results alone.
a. 100 cr      b. 120 cr       c. 150 cr     d. 135 cr
Ans : b
EXPLANATION:
Capital Charge 
= Gross Income X 15%
Whereas Gross Income (G I) = Net profit+ Provisions + Staff Expenses + Other Operating Expenses 
= 120 + 240 +  280 + 160 
= 800 cr
Thus, Capital Charge = 800 X 15%
                            = INR 120 cr

2. What is the amount of capital charge for operational risk, on the basis of 2nd Year's results alone.
a. 100 cr      b. 120 cr       c. 150 cr     d. 135 cr
Ans : c
EXPLANATION:
Capital Charge 
= Gross Income X 15%
Whereas Gross Income (G I) = Net profit+ Provisions + Staff Expenses + Other Operating Expenses 
= 150 + 290 + 320 + 240 
= 1000 cr 
Thus, Capital Charge = 1000 X 15%
                            = INR 150 cr

3. What is the amount of capital charge for operational risk, on the basis of both 1st and 2nd Year's results.
a. 100 cr      b. 120 cr      c. 135 cr      d. 150 cr 
Ans : c
EXPLANATION:
Capital Charge 
= Gross Income X 15%
Whereas Gross Income (G I) = Net profit+ Provisions + Staff Expenses + Other Operating Expenses 
1st Year   = 120 + 240 +  280 + 160 
             = 800 cr
2nd Year  = 150 + 290 + 320 + 240 
             = 1000 cr 
Average Gross Income = (800 + 1000)   = 900 cr
                                      2
Thus, Capital Charge = 900 X 15%
                            = INR 135 cr
