Which of the following financial transactions takes place exclusively within the secondary capital market?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: An investor trading previously issued equity shares with another investor through a licensed broker on the stock exchange floor

Cevap

An investor trading previously issued equity shares with another investor through a licensed broker on the stock exchange floor
The secondary capital market functions as a resale market for existing securities. Trading previously issued shares among investors through licensed stockbrokers on the stock exchange floor allows investors to liquidate or adjust their portfolios without affecting the original issuing company's share capital.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the defining characteristic of the secondary capital market
The secondary capital market provides liquidity by enabling the trading of existing (already issued) securities among investors.
Differentiating between the primary market (new issues) and the secondary market (existing issues) is essential to classify financial transactions.
2
Evaluate the given financial transactions against market definitions
First-time share offers represent the primary capital market. Treasury bills and overdrafts are money market instruments. Trading existing stocks on the exchange floor is the sole secondary market transaction.
Categorizing each option based on maturity period and issue stage confirms the correct secondary capital market activity.

A commercial bank receives a new cash deposit of N250,000\text{N}250,000. Following multiple rounds of lending across the banking system, the total credit created in the economy expands to N1,250,000\text{N}1,250,000. What is the Cash Reserve Ratio enforced by the monetary authority?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 20%20\%

Cevap

The Cash Reserve Ratio enforced by the monetary authority is 20%20\%.
The relationship between initial cash deposits, total credit expanded, and the reserve ratio is given by Total Credit Created=Initial DepositCash Reserve Ratio\text{Total Credit Created} = \frac{\text{Initial Deposit}}{\text{Cash Reserve Ratio}}. Substituting N1,250,000=N250,000Cash Reserve Ratio\text{N}1,250,000 = \frac{\text{N}250,000}{\text{Cash Reserve Ratio}} and solving for the ratio gives N250,000N1,250,000=0.20\frac{\text{N}250,000}{\text{N}1,250,000} = 0.20, or 20%20\%.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Recall the credit creation formula linking initial deposit, total credit created, and the cash reserve ratio.
Total Credit Created=Initial DepositCash Reserve Ratio\text{Total Credit Created} = \frac{\text{Initial Deposit}}{\text{Cash Reserve Ratio}}
The total volume of credit created by commercial banks depends inversely on the stipulated reserve percentage.
2
Rearrange the formula to isolate the Cash Reserve Ratio.
Cash Reserve Ratio=Initial DepositTotal Credit Created\text{Cash Reserve Ratio} = \frac{\text{Initial Deposit}}{\text{Total Credit Created}}
Dividing initial deposit by total credit expanded gives the reserve ratio directly.
3
Substitute the given numerical values into the equation and calculate.
Cash Reserve Ratio=N250,000N1,250,000=0.20=20%\text{Cash Reserve Ratio} = \frac{\text{N}250,000}{\text{N}1,250,000} = 0.20 = 20\%
Executing the division yields 0.200.20, which converts to 20%20\%.

Credit Multiplier and Reserve Requirements in Commercial Banking
Soru 3Soru →

If a commercial bank receives an initial cash deposit of N10,000\text{N}10,000 and the Cash Reserve Ratio set by the Central Bank is 10%10\%, what is the total credit that can be expanded across the banking system?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: N100,000\text{N}100,000

Cevap

The total credit that can be expanded across the banking system is N100,000\text{N}100,000.
Total credit expansion by commercial banks is calculated using the formula Total Expansion=Initial Deposit×1Cash Reserve Ratio\text{Total Expansion} = \text{Initial Deposit} \times \frac{1}{\text{Cash Reserve Ratio}}. With an initial deposit of N10,000\text{N}10,000 and a cash reserve ratio of 10%10\% (0.100.10), the multiplier is 1/0.10=101 / 0.10 = 10, resulting in a total credit capacity of 10,000×10=N100,00010,000 \times 10 = \text{N}100,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the credit multiplier using the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR).
Credit Multiplier=1CRR=10.10=10\text{Credit Multiplier} = \frac{1}{\text{CRR}} = \frac{1}{0.10} = 10
The credit multiplier reflects the maximum expansion factor for commercial bank deposits relative to reserves.
2
Multiply the initial cash deposit by the credit multiplier to find total credit expansion.
\text{Total Credit Expansion} = 10,000 \times 10 = \text{N}100,000
Applying the multiplier formula calculates the theoretical maximum credit created across the banking network.

Credit Creation and the Money Multiplier
Soru 4Soru →

A commercial bank receives an initial cash deposit of N100,000\text{N}100,000. If the Central Bank of Nigeria stipulates a Cash Reserve Ratio of 20%20\%, what is the total amount of credit that can be created by the banking system?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: N500,000\text{N}500,000

Cevap

The total credit that can be created by the commercial banking system is N500,000\text{N}500,000.
The total volume of credit created by commercial banks depends on the primary deposit and the credit multiplier (1/Cash Reserve Ratio1 / \text{Cash Reserve Ratio}). With a cash reserve requirement of 20%20\%, the multiplier is 1/0.20=51 / 0.20 = 5. Multiplying the initial deposit of N100,000\text{N}100,000 by 55 yields a total credit expansion capacity of N500,000\text{N}500,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the credit multiplier.
Credit Multiplier = 1Cash Reserve Ratio=10.20=5\frac{1}{\text{Cash Reserve Ratio}} = \frac{1}{0.20} = 5
The credit multiplier is the reciprocal of the cash reserve ratio set by the central bank.
2
Calculate total credit creation.
Total Credit Created = Initial Deposit×Credit Multiplier=N100,000×5=N500,000\text{Initial Deposit} \times \text{Credit Multiplier} = \text{N}100,000 \times 5 = \text{N}500,000
Multiplying the primary cash injection by the credit multiplier gives the total possible deposit expansion across the commercial banking system.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

Open Market Sale of Securities matches with reducing commercial bank cash reserves directly; Increase in Cash Reserve Ratio matches with directly increasing the legal mandatory un-lendable fraction of deposits; Discounting a Bill of Exchange matches with providing immediate short-term liquidity before maturity; High Currency Drain matches with cash leakages limiting deposit expansion below theoretical multiplier capacity.
Each item accurately pairs the monetary instrument or banking constraint with its precise operational impact on liquidity, secondary credit creation, or deposit multiplication limits.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Open Market Sale of Securities
Central Bank sells bonds, absorbing liquidity and reducing commercial bank excess reserves.
Purchasers pay using bank balances, directly reducing aggregate bank cash reserves.
2
Analyze Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)
A higher CRR legally locks up a larger proportion of bank deposits.
The theoretical deposit multiplier is given by 1/CRR1 / \text{CRR}, so a higher ratio directly reduces credit expansion capacity.
3
Analyze Discounting a Bill of Exchange
The commercial bank pays the merchant the face value minus a discount fee before maturity.
This offers credit/liquidity auxiliary services to trade for commercial bills.
4
Analyze Currency Drain
Public preference for holding physical paper currency causes money leakages from bank vaults.
Credit creation relies on derivative deposits returning to the banking system; cash leakage truncates the multiplication cycle.

An investor applies for a newly issued share offer through an issuing house with the intention of selling the shares at a profit as soon as stock exchange trading begins. Simultaneously, another investor purchases existing corporate debentures on the trading floor through a licensed stockbroker. Which option accurately classifies the market segment for each transaction and the speculative identity of the first investor?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The first transaction occurs in the primary market involving a stag, while the second transaction occurs in the secondary market.

Cevap

The first transaction occurs in the primary market involving a stag, while the second transaction occurs in the secondary market.
The first transaction deals with newly issued equity, placing it in the primary capital market. The speculator who buys new issues to resell immediately for profit as trading opens is known as a stag. The second transaction involves existing corporate debentures traded among investors on the floor of the stock exchange, which defines the secondary capital market.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the first market transaction (new share issue)
Shares offered for the first time by a company through an issuing house belong to the primary capital market.
The primary market handles the initial issuance and sale of new securities to raise capital for organizations.
2
Identify the speculator type for the first investor
An investor subscribing to new shares solely to sell them quickly at a profit when trading opens is defined as a stag.
A stag specializes in primary market applications targeting initial listing price premiums, unlike bulls or bears who trade existing securities.
3
Analyze the second market transaction (existing debentures purchase)
Buying already existing debentures on the trading floor via a broker takes place in the secondary capital market.
The secondary market (stock exchange) deals exclusively with the resale and transfer of previously issued securities among investors.

To curb severe inflationary pressure and mop up excess liquidity from the commercial banking sector strictly through quantitative monetary policy instruments, which set of measures must the Central Bank adopt?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Selling treasury bills in the open market, increasing the cash reserve ratio, and raising the bank rate

Cevap

Selling treasury bills in the open market, increasing the cash reserve ratio, and raising the bank rate.
The correct response combines three purely quantitative policy measures applied in a contractionary direction: selling securities in the open market absorbs cash reserves from commercial banks, increasing the cash reserve ratio decreases the proportion of deposits available for lending, and raising the bank rate makes central bank credit more expensive, thereby raising commercial interest rates and contracting the total money supply.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the economic objective
The target is to reduce money supply (contractionary policy) to combat severe inflation.
Inflation is driven by excess money supply and liquidity in circulation.
2
Filter by instrument classification (Quantitative vs. Selective)
Quantitative instruments affect the overall volume/cost of credit general to the entire banking system (Open Market Operations, Cash Reserve Ratio, Bank/Discount Rate, Liquidity Ratio). Selective instruments target specific sectors or use persuasion (Moral Suasion, Selective Credit Ceilings, Margin Requirements).
The prompt explicitly requires measures strictly restricted to quantitative monetary policy instruments.
3
Determine the required direction of each quantitative instrument
Selling securities (takes cash out of banks), increasing cash reserve ratios (locks up more commercial bank deposits), and raising the bank rate (discourages commercial bank borrowing from the central bank).
All three quantitative actions work together to diminish commercial bank reserves and suppress credit expansion.

A merchant in Aba agrees to supply 100 cartons of textiles to a retailer on credit, with a contractual agreement specifying a fixed settlement of ₦5,000,000 payable in six months. By the time the debt matures, persistent macroeconomic inflation has severely eroded the real purchasing power of the currency. Which function of money is demonstrated by the initial credit agreement, and which characteristic of money is directly undermined by the subsequent inflation?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Function: Standard of deferred payment; Characteristic: Stability of value

Cevap

The correct option states that the function demonstrated is the standard of deferred payment, and the characteristic undermined is the stability of value.
Money facilitates credit transactions by acting as a standard of deferred payment, allowing debts contracted today to be settled in monetary terms in the future. When general price inflation occurs over the credit period, the currency buys fewer goods and services than at the start of the contract, directly demonstrating a breakdown in money's stability of value.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the nature of the transaction described in the stem.
The agreement allows goods to be supplied now while postponing monetary settlement to a future date (six months later).
Postponed settlement of debt is the core definition of money serving as a standard of deferred payment.
2
Evaluate the effect of macroeconomic inflation on the money used in the contract.
Inflation reduces what the fixed sum of ₦5,000,000 can buy upon maturity.
When price levels rise, the real purchasing power of money falls, which directly compromises its stability of value characteristic.
3
Synthesize the function and characteristic to identify the matching option.
The combination of standard of deferred payment (function) and stability of value (characteristic) uniquely addresses both parts of the question.
Other options misclassify the deferred payment function as store of value, unit of account, or medium of exchange, and confuse economic stability of value with physical attributes like durability or divisibility.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Lowering the cash reserve ratio and purchasing government securities in the open market

Cevap

Lowering the cash reserve ratio and purchasing government securities in the open market
Lowering the cash reserve ratio decreases the proportion of deposits commercial banks must keep idle with the central bank, freeing up funds for lending. Simultaneously, buying treasury bills through Open Market Operations (OMO) injects central bank liquidity directly into commercial bank vaults. Both tools are quantitative instruments operating in an expansionary direction.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the required policy goal and classification constraint
The target is an expansionary monetary policy (increasing money supply/credit) using strictly quantitative instruments (general tools affecting overall credit volume).
Quantitative tools include Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), Liquidity Ratio, Bank/Rediscount Rate, and Open Market Operations (OMO).
2
Analyze the directional impact of each quantitative instrument
Lowering the Cash Reserve Ratio releases more deposit funds for lending. Purchasing government securities via OMO injects cash directly into bank reserves.
Both measures expand commercial bank reserves and lower borrowing costs, stimulating economic activity during a recession.
3
Filter out selective instruments and contractionary measures in other choices
Options containing direct credit directives, moral suasion, or margin requirements utilize selective instruments. Options that raise reserve requirements or sell treasury bills act contractionarily.

The Central Bank of Nigeria increases the mandatory Cash Reserve Ratio for commercial banks from 10%10\% to 20%20\%. Assuming an initial cash deposit of N80,000\text{N}80,000 into the commercial banking system with no cash leakages, how does this policy shift impact the total credit expansion capacity of commercial banks?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The credit multiplier decreases from 1010 to 55, reducing total credit expansion by N400,000\text{N}400,000

Cevap

The credit multiplier decreases from 1010 to 55, reducing total credit expansion by N400,000\text{N}400,000.
The total capacity of commercial banks to create credit is inversely related to the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRRCRR), expressed as Total Credit=Initial Deposit×1CRR\text{Total Credit} = \text{Initial Deposit} \times \frac{1}{\text{CRR}}. When CRR is 10%10\%, the multiplier is 1010, creating up to N800,000\text{N}800,000. When CRR rises to 20%20\%, the multiplier falls to 55, creating up to N400,000\text{N}400,000. The net policy effect is a reduction in potential credit expansion of N400,000\text{N}400,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the initial credit multiplier and total credit expansion at 10% Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)
Initial Multiplier = 10.10=10\frac{1}{0.10} = 10; Initial Expansion = N80,000×10=N800,000\text{N}80,000 \times 10 = \text{N}800,000
The credit multiplier is the inverse of the reserve requirement ratio.
2
Calculate the new credit multiplier and total credit expansion at 20% Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)
New Multiplier = 10.20=5\frac{1}{0.20} = 5; New Expansion = N80,000×5=N400,000\text{N}80,000 \times 5 = \text{N}400,000
An increase in CRR forces banks to hold more cash in reserve, reducing the fraction available for lending.
3
Determine the net change in credit expansion capacity
Net Reduction = N800,000−N400,000=N400,000\text{N}800,000 - \text{N}400,000 = \text{N}400,000
Subtracting the new total credit expansion capacity from the initial capacity yields the reduction in credit creation.

Cevap

Treasury Bills match short-term government borrowing issued by the Central Bank; Commercial Papers match unsecured corporate promissory notes; Call Money matches interbank overnight/demand loans; Certificate of Deposit matches negotiable bank receipts for fixed deposits.
Each instrument matches its primary function: Treasury Bills represent short-term government debt issued via the central bank, Commercial Papers represent unsecured corporate promissory notes, Call Money represents interbank short-notice liquidity loans, and Certificates of Deposit represent negotiable bank deposit receipts.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the issuing authority and purpose of each instrument.
Treasury Bills are government-backed via the Central Bank, while Commercial Papers are corporate-backed.
Differentiating issuers is key to categorizing money market instruments correctly.
2
Distinguish between interbank transactions and bank-to-customer deposit receipts.
Call Money is exclusively between commercial banks for liquidity, while Certificates of Deposit are negotiable deposit instruments given by banks to investors.
Operational roles define the transaction flow in money market trading.
