Answer 1

A) 2,679.45
B) 50,909.55
C) 1,071,780
Explanation:
The bank will keep 5% of the deposit:
53,589 x 5% = 2,679.45‬
Then, it will have in excess the remainder:
53,589 - 2,679.45 = 50,909.55‬
This amount can be used for another.
This makes a hypothetical loop. The borrower can also deposit and creating the chance or another loan and so on. The cycle repeats indefinitely
