The Banker's Dilemma
A commercial bank's business model is to accept deposits and use those funds to make long-term loans, such as 30-year mortgages. At the same time, the bank promises its depositors that they can withdraw their money on demand. Analyze the fundamental conflict that arises from these two simultaneous activities. In your analysis, explain how the promise of on-demand withdrawal creates a significant challenge for a bank whose funds are largely committed to long-term, non-retrievable loans.

A small business owner maintains a checking account with a commercial bank. The account balance is currently $50,000. The bank has invested the majority of its depositors' funds in long-term assets, such as 30-year mortgages. If the business owner needs to withdraw $40,000 immediately to pay for a large inventory shipment, which of the bank's promises to its depositors is being tested at that moment?
