Question

Give reason or explain the following statement:

Rate of interest on fixed deposit is high. 

Answer in Brief

Solution

Rate of interest on fixed deposit is high.

Explanation: Under the fixed deposit system, one has to save money for a fixed period of time. Till the maturity of the period, the customer promises not to demand that money from the bank unless necessary. So, banks are more liberal in loaning out that fund to the seekers from such deposits. As the they are deposited for a comparatively long period of time, the rate of interest offered on such deposits is very high.

Read the following hypothetical case study carefully and answer the questions follow on the basis of the same.

Agricultural Developmental Bank of Pakistan uses the production function approach for measuring bank outputs and costs. A translog cost function is estimated to provide an assessment of the bank's scale and scope efficiency, and to quantify the extent to which its production costs are sensitive to the size and output mix. Results show that the bank enjoys both overall and product-specific economies of scale and, therefore, there exists scope for the bank to expand its operations at a declining average cost. Even though bank branches in all size categories enjoy economies of scale, the extent of such economies is larger for branches operating at a smaller scale of production. This implies that as the bank branches grow larger in size in terms of both loan and deposit accounts, they move closer to attaining increasing returns to a factor. It is also shown that the marginal costs of servicing both loan and deposit accounts decline as bank branches grow larger in size in terms of either the number of loans or the number of deposits. This confirms that branches operating at a larger scale of production have attained greater cost-efficiency in terms of servicing the loan and deposit accounts.

The increasing returns to scale in larger branches is due to ______
