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

1. Required reserve
2. 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
