Suppose that a bank estimates its total deposits for the next four months in millions of dollars to be, respectively, $112, $132, $121, and $147, while its loans (also in millions of dollars) will total an estimated $87, $95, $102, and $113, respectively, over the same four months.
Under the sources and uses of funds approach, when does this bank face liquidity deficits, if any?
Month | Source of
liquidity (Deposits) |
Uses of
liquidity (Loans) |
Deposits - Loans |
1 | 112 | 87 | 25 |
2 | 132 | 95 | 37 |
3 | 121 | 102 | 19 |
4 | 147 | 113 | 34 |
As can be seen from the above table, the bank has surplus liquidity for the next four months. It does not face any liquidity deficits.
