A commercial bank reports the following figures for the fiscal year: It has issued a total of $800 million in loans to customers at an average interest rate of 7%. The bank holds $1.2 billion in total assets and has accepted $1 billion in customer deposits, on which it pays an average interest rate of 2.5%. Based on this information, what is the bank's total revenue generated specifically from its lending activities for the year?

Consider a bank's revenue from its lending activities. If this bank were to double the total amount of money it lends, while keeping the average interest rate on those loans constant, the effect on its total lending revenue would be identical to the effect of doubling the average interest rate while keeping the total amount of lending constant.

Lending Strategy Decision

Calculating Required Interest Rate

A commercial bank's revenue from its lending activities is determined by the interplay between the total amount of money it lends and the interest rate it charges on those loans. Analyze how changes in these factors, or other related banking activities, affect the bank's total revenue specifically from lending. Match each scenario below with its correct outcome.

A regional bank has extended a total of $500 million in loans to its clients over the past year. If the average interest rate charged on these loans is 6%, the bank's total revenue from its lending activities for the year is $____ million.
