Conditions for Exact Bank Profit Calculation
A common way to estimate a bank's profit is by multiplying the difference between the interest rate it charges on loans and the rate it pays on deposits by its total volume of lending. This calculation, however, is usually an approximation. Describe the two specific conditions related to a bank's balance sheet that must be met for this calculation to yield an exact profit figure, rather than an estimate.

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.
