Explanation:
Under the Structure of Funds approach, the net deposit liquidity requirement is calculated by multiplying the reserve percentage by the total deposits in the category minus the legal reserves required for those deposits.
1. Identify vulnerable funds and calculate their legal reserves:
$20.0 million. Legal reserve = 10% × $20.0 = $2.0 million$40.0 million. Legal reserve = 10% × $40.0 = $4.0 million$70.0 million. Legal reserve = 0% × $70.0 = $0.0 million2. Calculate total vulnerable funds and total legal reserves:
$20.0 + $40.0 + $70.0 = $130.0 million$2.0 + $4.0 + $0.0 = $6.0 million3. Calculate the net deposit liquidity requirement:
$130.0 - $6.0 = $124.0 million$124.0 million = $62.0 millionTherefore, option C is correct.

20.7.1. Kingstreet Savings is attempting to determine its liquidity requirement. The bank has classified its checking, savings, and nonperson time deposits (which total $380.0 million in deposits) into three categories: hot money, vulnerable, and stable (aka, core) funds:
| Millions of dollars | Hot money funds | Vulnerable funds | Stable (core) funds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Checkable deposits | $30.0 | $20.0 | $30.0 |
| Savings deposits | $10.0 | $40.0 | $60.0 |
| Nonpersonal time deposits | $70.0 | $70.0 | $50.0 |
| Percentage reserves | 80.00% | 50.00% | 20.00% |
Reserve requirements on checkable deposits 10.00%
Reserve requirements on savings deposits 10.00%
The total liquidity requirement is the sum of the liability and loan requirements, but we are here ignoring the loan liquidity requirement; further, the reserve requirements are not necessarily realistic but instead are rounded for the sake of more convenient calculations. Management has elected to hold an 80.0% reserve in liquid assets or borrowing capacity for each dollar of hot money deposits, a 50.0% reserve behind vulnerable deposits, and a 20.0% reserve for its holdings of core funds. The legal reserve requirement is 10.0% for both checkable and savings deposits; nonpersonal time deposits have zero legal reserve requirements.
Kingstreet Savings is using the Structure of Funds approach to estimating its liquidity requirement. What is Kingstreet's net deposit liquidity requirement for the (total of) vulnerable funds?
