I am creating a RAROC/FTP model for different loan types on a credit union balance sheet. I am stuck on how to calculate the funding benefit of equity that would be netted out of my cost of funds benchmark. An example below shows the funding benefit @ 0.17%. Does anyone know where that may be sourced from or what calc method is being used to arrive at that result?

You're essentially calculating the Weighted Average Cost of Capital.
Target Capital Ratio * Risk Weight * Cost of Funds = Funding Benefit of equity %
Ex: Risk weight = 75% Capital Ratio = 10% Cost of Funds = 5%
Funding Benefit of Equity = 38bps
