Intercepting regression of sectoral loan losses

Reference no: EM13827816

Problem:

A. A regression of sectoral loan losses against total loans losses, both measured as a percentage of total loans, of a bank results in the following beta coefficients for the real estate (RE) and commercial (CL) loan variables: bRE = 1.2, bCL = 1.6. The intercept for both regressions is zero.

1. The results indicate that for the bank

a. the real estate loan losses were systematically lower than the total loan losses.

b. the real estate loan losses were systematically higher than the total loan losses.

c. the commercial loan losses are systematically higher than the total loan losses.

d. Answers A and C.

e. Answers B and C.

2. The results can be interpreted as

a. If the total loan losses of the bank measured as a percentage of total loans is 2 percent, the losses in the real estate sector, measured as a percentage of total loans, is 1.2 percent.

b. If the total loan losses of the bank measured as a percentage of total loans is 2 percent, the losses in the commercial sector, measured as a percentage of total loans, is 3.2 percent.

c. If the total loan losses of the bank measured as a percentage of total loans is 2 percent, the losses in the commercial sector, measured as a percentage of total loans, is 6.4 percent.

d. If the total loan losses of the bank measured as a percentage of total loans is 3 percent, the losses in the commercial sector, measured as a Percentage of total loans, is 5.2 percent.

e. If the total loan losses of the bank measured as a percentage of total loans is 3 percent, the losses in the real estate sector, measured as a percentage of total loans, is 4 percent.
