Hi babu,

As precursor to the topic 7 videos, I just uploaded a RAROC learning XLS:
http://www.bionicturtle.com/premium/spreadsheet/7.a.1_raroc_crouhy/

The Altman text has something like yours for RAROC; i.e.,
net income / VaR

(and GARP really needs to reconcile these RAROCs...I will add to the "issues" list)

...but the exam has been following Crouhy's definition for (at least) a couple years, as reflected in the XLS:

numerator: loan revenue + return on economic capital (ROC) - interest expense on deposits (COF) - operating cost - Expected loss (EL)
denominator: economic capital
