Question:

Which of the following is a liability of a commercial bank Balance Sheet?
(1) Treasury bills
(2) Customer deposits
(3) Loans and advances
(4) Money at call
(5) Bills discounted

Correct Answer:

(2)

Answer Explanation:

In banking, an asset is something the bank owns (like loans it has given out or treasury bills it holds). A liability is something the bank owes. Customer deposits belong to the customers, not the bank; therefore, the bank owes this money back to the depositors, making it a liability.
