Bank Profit Calculation Analysis
Analyze the provided financial data for a simplified bank. First, calculate the bank's actual annual profit by finding the difference between its total interest income and total interest expense. Second, calculate the profit using the formula: profit = (interest rate on loans - interest rate on deposits) × total lending. Finally, explain why the results from both calculations are identical in this specific case.

Conditions for Exact Bank Profit Calculation
A commercial bank's profit calculation,
(interest rate on loans − interest rate on deposits) × total lending, becomes an exact formula rather than an approximation if the bank's total volume of loans is precisely equal to its total volume of deposits.
