You have two nostro accounts in USD, one account is long USD 5,000,000.00 and the other is short USD 5,000,000.00. What action should be taken to reconcile the accounts?
- No action is required. The credit interest earned on the credit balance will offset the debit interest incurred on the short balance
- You should borrow USD 5,000,000.00 to cover the short balance and leave the long balance as it is
- You should lend the surplus USD 5,000,000.00 in order to compensate the overdraft charges on the short balance with the interest earned on the loan
- You should instruct the bank with the long balance to transfer USD 5,000,000.00 to your nostro account at the other bank
