✓ The total market value of a company's outstanding shares

Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying a company's total outstanding shares by the current market price per share.

2. What is 'subprime lending'?

✓ Extending credit to borrowers with poor or limited credit histories at higher rates

Subprime lending targets borrowers with low credit scores or limited credit history, typically charging higher interest rates to offset greater default risk.

3. The simple interest on a sum for 4 years at 5% p.a. is $400. What is the principal?

4. What is 'credit scoring' used for in commercial bank retail lending?

✓ Statistically quantifying an individual borrower's creditworthiness to predict the likelihood of loan repayment

Credit scoring uses statistical models (like FICO scores) to evaluate a retail borrower's credit history and predict repayment probability.

5. A bank that is found to have an 'unsatisfactory' CRA rating may face which consequence?

✓ Denial of applications for mergers, acquisitions, or new branches

Regulators may deny or condition approval of a bank's application to merge, open new branches, or expand if the bank has an unsatisfactory CRA rating.

✓ To require lenders to collect and report data on mortgage applications to detect discriminatory patterns

HMDA requires financial institutions to publicly disclose mortgage loan data, enabling regulators and the public to identify potential lending discrimination.
