Balance with Fed on last day to be $ 800

Explanation:

Computation of balance on last day of maintenance period

Balance maintained $ 450 for 2 days $ 900

$ 700 for 3 days $ 2,100

$ 650 for 2 days $ 1,300

$ 450 for 3 days $ 1,350

$ 650 for 3 days $ 1.950

Average of balances maintained

13 days $ 7,600

Average balance maintenance required for 13 + last day)

$ 600 * (13 + 1) 14 days $ 8,400

so the balance with the Fed on the last day has to be

$ 8,400 - $ 7,600 $ 800
