Answer:

A) $800,000

Explanation:

Since the current reserve ratio is 20%, and the bank has no excess reserves, then the maximum it can lend if it receives $1 is $800,000.

The bank has currently $50 million in deposits and $10 million in reserves ($6 million in cash and $4 million in the Fed), so its reserves are exactly 20% of its total deposits. So if any new deposits are received, the bank will have to keep as reserves 20% of it (= $1,000,000 x 20% = $200,000).

This type of banking system is called the fractional banking system because banks are only required to keep a fraction of the money they receive as deposits and they can lend the rest to other clients.

klemol [59]

Answer:

Depreciation Expense for 2018; $10,528.57  

Explanation:

On January 2, 2016

machine cost = $100,000

Useful life = 10 years

Annual depreciation = ($100,000 - $6000)/10

                                  = $9,400

By early 2018,

Carrying amount of the machine

= $100,000 - 2($9,400)

= $100,000 - $18,800

= $81,200

Useful life is reassessed to 7 years (rather than 8) with a salvage value of $7,500

Annual Depreciation = ($81,200 - $7,500)/7

                                  =  $73,700/7

                                  =  $10,528.57  

Depreciation Expense for 2018; $10,528.57
