Answer 1

Answer:

$14,520 in check-able deposit liabilities and $117,480 in total reserves.

Explanation:

The bank has $132,000 in excess reserves and excess reserves ratio is 11%. The bank will have total reserves of $132,000 * 89% = $117,480. The total liabilities will be equivalent to the excess reserves which is $14,520 [$132,000 - $117,480].
