I am confused on if my cash with bank and reserves are correct. Saw someone say that the mortgages are liabilities, but my prof specified they're assets.
Answer:-
In the given question Eagal Bank requires reserve of 10%. It means the bank can lend only 90% out of the deposit received. In this case total deposit is $ 140 (Saving Deposits $10, Time Deposits $30 and Demand Deposits 100) hence fractional reserve shall be $140 * 10%= $14.
Home Morgage is a type of loan given by bank to its customer. It is basically given for purchase of Residence. In this loan Borrower transfers the title of that property to the bank on the condition to get back the title on complete repayment of the loan. Hence Home Mortgages is Assets for the Banking Company.
There shall be no Cash or Bank Balance remains. The difference between Assets and liability shall be treated as Net Worth . Hence the correct Balance Sheet of the Bank is as follows:-
Assets | Amount | Liabilities | Amount |
Securities | 70.00 | Equity | 20.00 |
Personal Loans | 40.00 | Retained Earnings | 20.00 |
Home Mortgage | 60.00 | Deposits :- | |
Savings Deposits | 10.00 | ||
Fractional Reserve @10% | 14.00 | Time Deposits | 30.00 |
Demand Deposits | 100.00 | ||
Net Worth | 4.00 | ||
Total | 184.00 | Total | 184.00 |
