I see where you're coming from, Mitsue, but I think B makes more sense. It's about managing risks, not just looking at future earnings.

I'm not sure about that. I think it might be D) Economic capital is the present value of the earnings generated by the bank in the future.

I agree with Ariel. Economic capital is all about measuring the potential risks and losses for the bank.

Wow, this is a tough one. I'm going to have to go with my gut and say B. But who knows, maybe the bank's accountants are just making this stuff up as they go along.

Haha, good one C! I think you've confused economic capital with something else entirely. Option B is the way to go, trust me.

I'm going with D. Economic capital is just the bank's future earnings, right? Easy money!

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Isn't economic capital also about meeting regulatory requirements? Either way, this question is making my brain hurt.

Option B seems to be the correct answer. Economic capital is all about the bank's own risk assessments, not the economy as a whole.

I think the correct statement is B) Economic capital reflects the possible losses that could occur based on the bank's own estimates of the risks it is taking.
