Q. A bank efficiency ratio is the ratio of a bank's expenses to its revenue, expressed as a percentage. If a bank has $222 million dollars in expenses and an efficiency ratio of 75%, what is its revenue in millions of dollars?◻
Define Efficiency Ratio: Understand the definition of the efficiency ratio.The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing the bank's expenses by its revenue and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. The formula can be expressed as:Efficiency Ratio (\%) = (Expenses / Revenue) * 100
Rearrange Formula for Revenue: Rearrange the formula to solve for revenue.To find the revenue, we need to rearrange the formula to solve for it. This gives us:Revenue = Expenses / (Efficiency Ratio / 100)
Plug in Given Values: Plug in the given values into the rearranged formula.We know the bank's expenses are $222 million and the efficiency ratio is 75%. Let's substitute these values into the formula:Revenue=(75/100)$222million
Calculate Revenue: Calculate the revenue.Now, we perform the calculation:Revenue = $222 million / 0.75Revenue = $296 million
