Namdian banks collectively hold 100 million dias of required reserves, 25 million dias of excess reserves, 250 million dias of Namdian Treasury Bonds, and their customers hold 1,000 million dias of deposits.

    Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Demand deposits = 1000 million dias

    Excess reserves = 25 million dias

    Percent of demand deposits held as excess reserves = 25%

    Therefore,

    when 5 million dias are loaned by Central bank, keeping the excess reserves and demand deposits constant,

    Banks can create credit = (1 : 25) %

    = 4 times or 0.04

    Money supply of Namdia change:

    = Demand deposits * 0.04

    = 1,000 * 0.04

    = 40 million dias
