Pooch · Answer 1

Reserve = $70,000

Required reserves = $20,000

Excess reserves = $50,000

Explanation:

Given that

Demand deposits = $200,000

Outstanding loans = $130,000

Reserve requirement = 10%

Reserve = Demand deposits - Outstanding loans

= $200,000 - $130,000

=$70,000

Required reserves = Reserve requirement * Demand deposits

= 10% * $200,000

= $20,000

Excess reserves = Reserve - Required reserves

= $70,000 - $20,000

=$50,000
