If the reserve requirement is 10 percent, how much in excess reserves is the bank holding?

Solution

Assets always equal liabilities.

Liabilities= 98000+220000=318000

Property= 318000-98000-5000= 215000

If required reserves ratio is 10% or 0.10, required reserves= 0.10* checkable deposits

= 0.10*98000=9800

Excess reserves= reserves - required reserves

= 98000-9800= 88200
