    Answer: $64 million

    Explanation:

    Deposit = $80 million

    Reserved Required Ration = 20% (0.20)

    Firstly, we have to calculate Reserve Requirements before we can calculate the excess reserve.

    Reserve Requirements = (Deposit x Reserve Requirements Ratio).

    Reserve Requirements = ($80million x 0.2)

    Reserve Requirements = $16million

    Therefore,

    Eccess Reserve = (Deposit - Reserve Requirements)

    Eccess Reserve = ($80million - $16million)

    Eccess Reserve = $64million

    The amount of Excess Reserve which can be loaned out is $64million
