    5.48% is the bank's ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets

    Explanation:

    In this question, we are asked to calculate the bank's ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets.

    Firstly, we calculate the risk weighted asset for the bank

    The risk weighted assets = The sum of the all the individual assets multiplied by the their percentage risk category

    RWA = (100 * 0) + (200 * 0.2) + (500 * 0.5) + (750 * 1) = 0 + 40 + 250 + 750 = 1040

    Now, the tier 1 capital to risk weighted ratio = 57/1040 = 0.0548 = 5.48%
