Sample RBB Assistant Manager Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the RBB Assistant Manager exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1During project appraisal, which ratio does a bank use to judge whether a manufacturing borrower's operating cash flow can cover its principal and interest installments?

A.Current ratio

B.Inventory turnover ratio

C.Debt service coverage ratio (DSCR)

D.Net profit margin after interest and tax

Explanation: DSCR divides the cash available for debt service by the principal and interest due in the same period. A ratio comfortably above 1 shows that the project can meet its installments from its own cash flow, which is why lenders build it into term-loan appraisal.

2A factory has fixed annual costs of NPR 6,000,000. It sells each unit for NPR 500 and the variable cost is NPR 300 per unit. What is its break-even point in units?

A.30,000 units

B.12,000 units

C.20,000 units

D.50,000 units

Explanation: Contribution margin per unit = 500 - 300 = NPR 200. Break-even point = Fixed costs / Contribution margin = 6,000,000 / 200 = 30,000 units.

3Two mutually exclusive projects give conflicting rankings under net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). Which decision rule should a credit analyst follow?

A.Accept the project with the higher IRR

B.Accept the project with the shorter payback period

C.Accept the project with the higher profitability index

D.Accept the project with the higher NPV

Explanation: NPV measures the absolute value a project adds at the firm's cost of capital and assumes cash flows are reinvested at that rate. When projects differ in size or cash-flow timing, NPV gives the ranking that maximizes shareholder wealth.

4What is the main function of the secondary market operated by the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE)?

A.To raise fresh capital for companies through initial public offerings

B.To give liquidity by letting investors trade securities already issued

C.To supervise listed companies and license stockbrokers

D.To hold investors' shares in electronic (demat) form

Explanation: In the secondary market, investors buy and sell existing shares and bonds among themselves. NEPSE provides the trading platform where prices are discovered, which makes these securities liquid.

5What does a forward foreign exchange contract between a bank and an importer establish?

A.An exchange of currencies at today's spot rate, with settlement two business days later

B.The right, but not the obligation, to exchange currency at a set rate

C.A binding exchange of a set amount of currency on a future date at a rate fixed today

D.An exchange of interest payments in two currencies over several years

Explanation: A forward contract locks in today the rate for a currency exchange that will settle on an agreed future date. Importers and exporters use it to remove the risk of exchange rate movements before payment falls due.

6In DuPont analysis, which three components multiply together to give return on equity (ROE)?

A.Net interest margin, capital adequacy ratio and NPL ratio

B.Gross margin, operating cash flow and debt-to-equity ratio

C.Current ratio, quick ratio and cash ratio

D.Net profit margin, asset turnover and equity multiplier

Explanation: ROE = (Net profit / Sales) x (Sales / Total assets) x (Total assets / Equity). The three factors separate profitability, asset efficiency and financial leverage.

7Which of the following is a financial literacy measure rather than a measure to widen access to financial services?

A.Teaching households to compare loan costs and plan a budget

B.Opening a branchless banking outlet in a remote village

C.Introducing a low-cost basic savings account

D.Extending mobile wallet coverage to rural municipalities

Explanation: Financial inclusion needs both access (outlets, accounts and digital channels) and capability. Financial literacy builds the knowledge and skills people need to use services well, such as understanding interest costs, budgeting and recognizing fraud.

8What is the defining feature of an open-end mutual fund scheme in Nepal?

A.It has a fixed maturity period and its units are traded only on NEPSE

B.It issues and redeems units continuously at NAV, with no fixed maturity

C.It may invest only in government bonds, treasury bills and bank deposits

D.It guarantees unit holders a fixed annual return set at launch

Explanation: An open-end scheme has no fixed size or maturity. Investors buy new units from, and sell units back to, the fund manager at the published net asset value (NAV), unlike closed-end schemes whose units trade on the exchange.

9What happens to the market price of an existing fixed-coupon debenture when market interest rates rise?

A.Its market price rises above face value

B.Its coupon rate resets to the new market rate

C.Its market price stays at face value until maturity

D.Its market price falls below face value

Explanation: Bond prices move inversely to market interest rates. When new debentures offer higher yields, an existing bond with a lower fixed coupon becomes less attractive, so its price falls below par until its yield matches the market.

10In the foreign exchange market, what is a cross rate?

A.The rate at which a bank buys foreign currency from customers

B.The gap between a bank's buying and selling rates for the same currency

C.The rate agreed today for delivery of currency on a future date

D.A rate between two currencies derived from each one's rate against a third

Explanation: A cross rate is worked out from each currency's rate against a common currency, usually the US dollar. For example, a NPR/EUR rate can be derived from the NPR/USD and EUR/USD rates.
