Bank Net Worth Dynamics in Lending
A commercial bank makes a profitable loan. Describe how the bank's net worth is affected at two distinct points in time: 1) the moment the loan is created and issued to the borrower, and 2) the moment the loan is fully repaid with interest. Explain the reasoning for the change (or lack of change) at each point.

A commercial bank's net worth increases at the exact moment it issues a new loan to a customer.
