Explanation:
Here is the complete question :
If the reserve requirement was 13% and a bank customer makes a deposit of $440 at the Springfield Bank, the initial result would be:
O a $57.2 increase in excess reserves and a $382.8 increase in required reserves.
O a $382.8 increase in excess reserves and a $57.2 increase in required reserves.
O a $57.2 increase in required reserves and a $2,944.6 increase in excess reserves.
O a $440 increase in required reserves and a $2.944.6 increase in excess reserves.
Reserves is the total amount of a bank's deposit that is not given out as loans
There are two types of reserves
- Required reserve
- Excess reserve
Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank
Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits
0.13 x $440 = $57.20
Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves
$440 - $57.20 = $382.80
