Hypothetical Example of A Bank Balance Sheet and Financial Ratios
An example of fractional-reserve banking, and the calculation of the "reserve ratio" is shown in the balance sheet below:
Example 2: ANZ National Bank Limited Balance Sheet as at 30 September 2007 | |||
---|---|---|---|
ASSETS | NZ$m | LIABILITIES | NZ$m |
Cash | 201 | Demand Deposits | 25482 |
Balance with Central Bank | 2809 | Term Deposits and other borrowings | 35231 |
Other Liquid Assets | 1797 | Due to Other Financial Institutions | 3170 |
Due from other Financial Institutions | 3563 | Derivative financial instruments | 4924 |
Trading Securities | 1887 | Payables and other liabilities | 1351 |
Derivative financial instruments | 4771 | Provisions | 165 |
Available for sale assets | 48 | Bonds and Notes | 14607 |
Net loans and advances | 87878 | Related Party Funding | 2775 |
Shares in controlled entities | 206 | Loan Capital | 2062 |
Current Tax Assets | 112 | Total Liabilities | 99084 |
Other assets | 1045 | Share Capital | 5943 |
Deferred Tax Assets | 11 | Reserves | 83 |
Premises and Equipment | 232 | Retained profits | 2667 |
Goodwill and other intangibles | 3297 | Total Equity | 8703 |
Total Assets | 107787 | Total Liabilities plus Net Worth | 107787 |
In this example the cash reserves held by the bank is NZ$3010m (NZ$201m Cash + NZ$2809m Balance at Central Bank) and the Demand Deposits (liabilities) of the bank are NZ$25482m, for a cash reserve ratio of 11.81%.

Famous quotes containing the words bank, balance, sheet, financial and/or ratios:
“That strain again, it had a dying fall;
O, it came oer my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odor. Enough, no more,
Tis not so sweet now as it was before.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“... idleness is an evil. I dont think man can maintain his balance or sanity in idleness. Human beings must work to create some coherence. You do it only through work and through love. And you can only count on work.”
—Barbara Terwilliger (b. c. 1940)
“There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.”
—Auguste Rodin (18491917)
“A theory of the middle class: that it is not to be determined by its financial situation but rather by its relation to government. That is, one could shade down from an actual ruling or governing class to a class hopelessly out of relation to government, thinking of govt as beyond its control, of itself as wholly controlled by govt. Somewhere in between and in gradations is the group that has the sense that govt exists for it, and shapes its consciousness accordingly.”
—Lionel Trilling (19051975)
“Typography is not only a technology but is in itself a natural resource or staple, like cotton or timber or radio; and, like any staple, it shapes not only private sense ratios but also patterns of communal interdependence.”
—Marshall McLuhan (19111980)
