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:
“Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“It has been the struggle between privileged men who have managed to get hold of the levers of power and the people in general with their vague and changing aspirations for equality, for justice, for some kind of gentler brotherhood and peace, which has kept that balance of forces we call our system of government in equilibrium.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“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 (1849–1917)
“Creditor. One of a tribe of savages dwelling beyond the Financial Straits and dreaded for their desolating incursions.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“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 (1911–1980)
