Which of the following is not true about a commercial Bank?

Solution

Correct Option: 3

For a commercial bank, loans are assets (money owed to the bank), not liabilities. Deposits are the bank's main liabilities. So 'Liabilities = Loans' is incorrect. The other statements hold: Assets = Reserves + Loans; Net worth = Assets - Liabilities; and Deposits = Assets - Net worth (derived from the balance sheet identity).
