Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the loan has not been used yet, it will stay in the Loan account of the bank. The balances on the books for ACME will therefore be,

Reserves - $151,000.

It does not change as loan has not been used yet. If Toshi was to use loan then this figure will reduce because withdrawals are given from the Bank reserves.

Checkable Deposits will increase by the loan amount as that was where Toshi was credited to.

= 140,000 + 28,000

= $168,000

Loans - $28,000

The bank will now have a loan balance of $28,000 on its debit side to reflect the loan it just gave out.

Stock Shares - $286,000.

Not affected by the transaction.

Property - $275,000

Not affected by the transaction.
