Question Title Nominal and Real Interest rate
Question DescriptionSEMESTER SPRING 2020
Money and Banking (MGT411)
GDB No. 1
Due Date: June 08, 2020 Marks: 5
Learning Objective:
The objective of this question is to enable the students to understand the difference in nominal interest rate and real interest rate and its importance for lenders and borrowers.
Discussion Question:
It is important to understand the difference between nominal interest rate and real interest rate. Nominal interest rate is expressed in terms of current dollars as used in present value calculation where the purpose is to assess the amount of money you would pay today for fixed payments in the future. In case of borrowers and lenders; inflation is another important factor as they are concerned about the purchasing power of money and there is possibility that inflation may change the purchasing power of dollars. So there is a need to use inflation adjusted interest rate that is real interest rate. It equals to nominal interest rate minus inflation and expressed in terms of purchasing power. This phenomenon is best expressed by Irving Fisher in the form of Fisher equation that states that nominal interest rate ‘i’ is equal to real interest rate ‘r’ plus expected inflation ‘πe’.
Keeping this in mind; answer the following questions:
If there are equal chances of being paid back; whether 8% nominal interest rate is more attractive to a lender or 5% nominal interest rate? Explain your answer.
Also explain in the context of Fisher equation; what compensation a borrower is giving to a lender when he pays nominal interest rate?

Question Title Liquidity Risk of Banks
Question DescriptionSEMESTER Fall 2019
Money and Banking (MGT411)
GDB No. 1
Due Date: January 28, 2020 Marks: 5
Learning Objective:
The objective of this question is to enable the students to understand the concept of liquidity risk for banks its sources and how banks manage it thorough different strategies.
Discussion Question:
Liquidity is a term used to describe the ease with which an asset can be converted into cash. Most of the time businesses face a situation where they have to meet sudden demand of cash or liquid funds that creates liquidity risk. Banks face liquidity risk on both sides i.e. asset and liability side of their balance sheet. On liability side, it is due to sudden deposit withdrawals and on asset side it is due to failure of banks to provide loans to their customers when demanded. One way to manage liquidity risk is to hold sufficient excess reserves but it is considered to be expensive one. The other two ways are adjusting assets and adjusting liabilities. Banks can manage it from asset side by selling a portion of its securities, selling some of its loans to other banks or by simply refusing to renew a customer loan that has come due which is absolutely not very appealing. On liability side; banks can manage it by attracting additional deposits or by borrowing either from the Central Bank or any other bank. But banks prefer to find other sources of funds instead of selling existing assets to manage liquidity risk.
Keeping this in mind; answer the following questions:
