Stressed outflows are $110 million and reliable inflows are $15 million. Simplified LCR logic: usable liquid assets / stressed net cash outflows. The common trap is quoting total liquid assets without removing pledged assets, applying haircuts, or comparing to stressed net outflows. Remove pledged assets $140M total liquid assets - $12M pledged = $128M potentially usable. Pledged assets are not freely available for the stress need, so counting them…
