Explanation:

Variable Costs vary with the level of production. Examples are Direct Materials and Direct labor.

Fixed Costs remain constant for any production level. Examples are Depreciation and Utilities such as electricity.

A growth in Sales will affect the Variable Costs only. As production increases to meet the 20 percent growth in sales so do these costs since they vary in direct proportion to the level of production.

Radda [10]

Missing information:

total deposits in bank XYZ = $4,000,000

total reserves = $3,800,000

Answer:

the required reserve = $250,000

excess reserves = $4,550,000

Explanation:

required reserve ratio = 5%

the Fed buys $1,000,000 worth of bonds

the $1,000,000 are deposited entirely in bank XYZ

total checkable deposits will increase to $5,000,000

the required reserve = $5,000,000 x 5% = $250,000

excess reserves = total checkable deposits - total loans - required reserves = $5,000,000 - $200,000 - $250,000 = $4,550,000
