To the Chief Executive Officer of the Member Bank Addressed:
We are pleased to announce that our Functional Cost Analysis
program has been updated to keep pace with the changes in today’s hank­
ing industry. Beginning in 1971 the report will offer a more complete
analysis of income, expenses, and earnings for each function within
your bank. Some of the changes are:
1.

Optional analysis pages on various types of
demand deposit accounts, i.e. special checking,
personal checking, commercial checking, and
minimum balance checking accounts.

2.

A separate analysis page for credit card trans­
actions .

3.

An expanded time deposit and instalment loan
section.

4.

Comparisons of each function by either conven­
tional or computerized operating procedure.

5.

Inclusion of the cash and due account expenses
in the cost of money and earnings figures.

6.

Inclusion of trust department deposits in
departmental assets.

There are many more significant improvements that will make
the program most advantageous to your bank's participation. Most of
the data required as input to us will be available as a by-product of
your regular banking activities.
If you would like to learn more about the Functional Cost
Analysis program, complete and return the enclosed postal card. Upon

receipt of your response, we normally forward the forms necessary to
compile the information in your bank. This year, due to the time required
to complete all of the program changes, the forms will not be mailed until
later in the year. The delay will in no way affect the accuracy of your
report. A visit by our Functional Cost Analysis representative to each
bank indicating an interest will follow the mailing of the forms.
Inquiries concerning the Functional Cost Analysis program should
be directed to Leon W. Cowan, Vice President of this bank.
Yours very truly,

P. E. Coldwell
President
