Solution

Sure, here's a step-by-step explanation of what happens when Jane Brown writes a check to Joe Green:

  1. Jane Brown's Account at First National Bank: When Jane writes a check for 90,heraccountattheFirstNationalBankdecreasesby90, her account at the First National Bank decreases by 90. This is recorded as a debit (decrease) in the bank's T-account under "Customer Deposits".

  2. Transit: The check is then given to Joe Green, who will deposit it into his account at the Second National Bank. During this time, the $90 is in transit and is not available in either Jane's account or Joe's account.

  3. Joe Green's Account at Second National Bank: When Joe deposits the check into his account at the Second National Bank, his account balance increases by $90. This is recorded as a credit (increase) in the bank's T-account under "Customer Deposits".

  4. Interbank Settlement: At the end of the day, the two banks will settle the transaction through a central clearing house. The First National Bank will transfer $90 to the Second National Bank. This is recorded as a debit (decrease) in the First National Bank's T-account under "Reserves" and a credit (increase) in the Second National Bank's T-account under "Reserves".

So, in summary, Jane's account at the First National Bank decreases by 90,JoesaccountattheSecondNationalBankincreasesby90, Joe's account at the Second National Bank increases by 90, and the First National Bank transfers $90 in reserves to the Second National Bank.
