FUNCTIONAL COST ANALYSIS
BULLETIN

To Person Responsible for Preparation of Functional Cost Analysis Workpapers
at Member Bank Addressed:
Now that the holiday season is over, we would like to announce
that a deadline of February 20 has been set for submitting your functional
cost analysis data to this Bank, In order to avoid, any delays in pro­
cessing your bank*s data, please see that totals are checked for accuracy
and copying errors are eliminated by proving each schedule before it is
submitted. We would like to remind you again that only one typed copy of
each schedule need be returned to us. The worksheets and your copy of each
schedule should be retained by you for reference. Show all dollar amounts
to the nearest dollar; do not show cents.
For your information, over 1,300 banks are participating in the
Functional Cost Analysis Program nationally, and in our District to date
125 banks are participating in the program for 1966.
Banks under $50 million in deposits will be compared with banks
in our own District. Those banks of more than $50 million in deposits
but less than $200 million will be cpmpared on a regional basis. Our
region comprises the Federal Reserve Districts of St. Louis, Chicago,
Minneapolis, San Francisco, and Dallajs. Banks having deposits in excess
of $200 million will be compared nationally.
We have enclosed two copies of Schedule E which is required for
the cost study. Please check or fill in the appropriate boxes and return
one copy of this schedule along with your four other completed schedules.
As we mentioned previously, this schedule is merely a general information
source regarding certain characteristics of your bank and will take only a
few minutes to prepare.
A question has been raised concerning the distinction between
the figures to be reported on Worksheet #3 for Schedule C for deposits
made and accounts opened and withdrawals and accounts closed for CD's
and Other Time Deposits. In this Reserve District there would seem to be
no significant difference between deposits and accounts opened or with­
drawals and accounts closed. These terms are synonymous. So, in reporting
this data, the aggregate number of deposits that were made for the entire

year should also be reported as the number of apcouiyts opened, likewise,
the number of withdrawals reported will be reflected a$ the number of accounts
closed. When this information is transferred to Schedule C, make sure that
you report the data to line 58 in the manner
just outlined.
If other questions develop, please do nqt hesitate tp write us
or call collect at Riverside 2.-3271 (Extension 370).
