    a) Bank deposit increase by $500

    b) Bank reserve increase by $60

    c) Funds available for loan increase by $440

    d) Deposit can be withdrawn anytime

    Explanation:

    Deposit = $500

    Change in reserve = 12% * $500 = $60

    Change in deposit = $500

    Change in loan = (100-12) %*500 = $440.

    Deposit is like a loan given to the bank as the bank uses these money for her transactions. This money can be requested for withdrawal by the depositor at any time, This makes it a type of liability to the bank
