Explanation:
If the federal fund's rates were above the targeted rate, the Fed would need to move it towards the targeted rate. To move the interest rate towards the targeted rate, the government would need to increase the money supply. This can be done by buying bonds. When the Fed buys bonds they pay for it, this causes the money supply to increase. As the supply curve shifts to the right, the interest rate will fall down.

The formula for calculating amount of deposits is as follows:

where,
D = Deposits
rr = required reserve rate 
ER/D = excess reserve rate
C/D = non-bank currency to deposits 

D = 574.712644
D = 574.71
Therefore,  the amount of deposits is $574.71 billion.
