[33]~The Method and Extent of Credit Issue.--~Assume that a bank with a
cash capital of $100,000 is opening for business in an isolated town and
is the only bank in that town. How much can it lend? Ordinarily a bank
lends by discounting a customer's note and by giving the customer a
deposit credit upon its books for the proceeds of the note.... If, now,
our bank in question lends $100,000, giving deposit credit for this sum,
it has $100,000 of cash on hand against $100,000 of cash liability. Its
statement will stand as follows:
_Resources_
Cash $100,000
Notes 100,000
--------
$200,000
_Liabilities_
Capital Stock $100,000
Deposits 100,000
--------
$200,000
Now let it lend another $100,000. With its loans and deposits each
standing at $200,000 its reserves are 50 per cent. of its demand
liability. Only with $666,666 of loans will its reserves have reached
... [a] 15 per cent. limit:
_Resources_
Cash $100,000
Notes (Loans and Discounts)
666,666
--------
$766,666
_Liabilities_
