Question

calculate how much credit created by commercial bank when there is a deposit of 80000, reserve requirement is 8% and withdrawl is 35%?

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount of credit created by commercial bank = 47,840

Explanation:

Given:

Total deposit in bank = 80,000

Reserve requirement = 8%

Withdrawal = 35%

Find:

Amount of credit created by commercial bank

Computation:

Amount available for withdrawal = Total deposit in bank[1 - Reserve requirement]

Amount available for withdrawal = [80,000][1-8%]

Amount available for withdrawal = 73,600

Amount of withdrawal = Amount available for withdrawal[35%]

Amount of withdrawal = 73,600[35%]

Amount of withdrawal = 25,760

Amount of credit created by commercial bank = 73,600 - 25,760

Amount of credit created by commercial bank = 47,840
