Solution

The false statement is D) Bank capital is recorded as an asset on the bank balance sheet.

Bank capital is actually recorded as a liability on the bank's balance sheet because it represents the bank's obligations to its shareholders. The bank's assets are what it owns or controls, such as loans, reserves, and securities, which generate income for the bank. The bank's liabilities, including its capital, are its sources of funds, which it uses to acquire its assets.
