Answer:

$18 billion

Explanation:

A required reserve ratio refers to the fraction of the deposits received by a bank or financial institution that the regulatory authority requires the bank to hold as reserves and not loaning it out.

Excess reserves refers to reserves that is above the required reserved which held by a bank or financial institution and can can be loaned out. Excess reserve is therefore total deposit minus required reserve.

Since the required reserve ratio is 10% from the question, initial required reserve for the bank can therefore be obtained as follows:

Initial required reserve = 10% * Deposits = 10% * $20 billion = $2 billion

As result, we have:

Initial excess reserve = Deposit - Required reserve = $20 billion - $2 billion = $18 billion

Therefore, these new deposits will initially create excess reserves of <u>$18 billion</u>.

\huge\color{purple}{\mathbb{ANSWER:}}

Mr. White was the third and final owner of the talisman in W. W. Jacobs' short story "The Monkey's Paw." He plucked it from the fireplace when the previous owner, Sergeant Major Morris, tossed it there to burn and end the chain of misfortune that came with it. He is motivated mostly by curiosity, since he seems happy with his life and is financially secure.

Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."
