Suppose warren buffet withdraws $1 million from his checking account at chase manhattan bank. if the required reserve ratio is 20 percent, what is the maximum change in deposits in the banking system?

-$5 million

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the maximum change in banking system deposits as a result of a withdrawal.

mathematically;

change in checking deposits = Change in Reserves * 1/Reserve Requirement

From the question, the reserve requirement is 20% = 20/100 = 0.2

The change is thus - 1 million * 1/0.2

-1 million * 5 = - $5 million
