    The loan made by the First bank of Anywhere was 96,000

    Explanation:

    The bank had no excess reserves so it has take 4% of Jane's deposit to build reserve and leave the rest as loanable funds:

    100,000 x (1 - 4% required reserve ratio) = $96,000 loanable funds

    We must not mistkae this with the actual increase in the money supply which is calculated in a different way. This is just the first of a series of loan that different bank will do increasing the money supply.
