Answer:

$13.5 million

Explanation:

Fractional Banking System- This is banking system where banks are required by the central banking authority to keep a certain percentage of their total deposit as the minimum reserve which they cannot lend out.

The idea behind this requirement is to help manage liquidity risk- a situation where a bank does not have enough cash to meet its deposit customers demand.

Required-reserve ratio: The minimum percentage that banks are required to keep as reserve is known as the required-reserve ratio. In this question, it is given as 10%. Multiply this ratio by the total deposit and you will get the required reserve in dollar amount.

Therefore the required reserve for this bank = 10% ×$15 million= $1.5 million

Excess reserve; Excess reserve is the balance of the total deposit over and above the required reserve. The bank can lend and create loan asset from this balance.

It is calculated as = Total deposit - Required reserve

So we apply this to our question

Excess reserve = $15 million - (10% × $15 million)

= $15 million - $1.5 million

= $13.5 million

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The Elston's stockholders' equity on December 31, 2014 is $550,000

Explanation:

For computing the stockholder equity, first, we have to find out the ending retained earning balance which equals to

= Beginning retained earning balance + Net income - dividend paid

= $375,000 + $75,000 - $50,000

= $400,000

where,

Net income = Service revenue - operating expenses

= $700,000 - $625,000

= $75,000

Now the stockholder equity equals to

= Common stock + ending balance of retained earning

= $150,000 + $400,000

= $550,000
