Answer:

$12,650,000.

Explanation:

Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans

Reserves = Deposits - outstanding loans

Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank

Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits

0.09 x 415 million = 37.35 million

Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves

50 million - 37.35 million = 12.65 million
