| Expected Inflows in Millions | Rate Offered on New Funds | Total Interest Cost | Marginal Interest Cost | Marginal Cost Rate | Marginal Revenue Rate | Expected Difference In Marginal Revenues and Costs | Total Profits Earned |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | 3.00% | 6.00 | 6.00 | 3.00% | 7.00% | 4.00% | 8.00 |
| 300 | 4.00% | 12.00 | 6.00 | 6.00% | 7.00% | 1.00% | 9.00 |
| 400 | 4.25% | 17.00 | 5.00 | 5.00% | 7.00% | 2.00% | 11.00 |
| 500 | 4.50% | 22.50 | 5.50 | 5.50% | 7.00% | 1.50% | 12.50 |
| 600 | 4.75% | 28.50 | 6.00 | 6.00% | 7.00% | 1.00% | 13.50 |
| 700 | 5.25% | 36.75 | 8.25 | 8.25% | 7.00% | −1.25% | 12.25 |
Total Interest Costs = Expected inflows × Rate of new funds%
Marginal Interest Costs = Total interest costs for the current expected inflow - Total interest costs for the previous expected inflow
Marginal Cost Rate = Marginal costs ÷ Increase in the expected inflows
Increase in the Expected Inflows = Current expected inflow - Previous expected inflow

Q.4096 ABC Credit Union is launching a new deposit campaign next week in anticipation of bringing in from $200 million to $700 million in new deposit money, which it expects to invest at a 7% yield. The management believes that an offer rate on new deposits of 3% would attract $200 million in new deposits and rollover funds. To attract $300 million, the bank would probably be forced to offer 4%. ABC’s forecast suggests that $400 million might be available at 4.25%, $500 million at 4.50%, $600 million at 4.75%, and $700 million at 5.25%. What volume of deposits should the institution try to avoid to ensure that marginal cost does not exceed marginal revenue?
A
$300 Million
B
$400 Million
C
$600 Million
D
$700 Million
