      A Revaluation Reserve Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Hybrid Capital Instruments Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Subordinated Debts Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D General Loan-loss Reserves Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Capital Reserve Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Tier 2 capital must be at least 2% of RWAs on an ongoing basis. Tier 2 Capital: represents “supplementary capital” such as undisclosed reserves, revaluation reserves, general loan-loss reserves, hybrid (debt/equity) capital instruments, and subordinated debt of the financial institution. Tier 2 Capital is generally less reliable or secure than Tier 1 capital, and therefore must be considered separately when evaluating the riskiness of a bank. Capital reserve is a disclosed reserve and forms a part of the Tier I capital of the bank.
