    The correct answer is $51.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

    Total reserve of fair bank = 20% of $100 = $20 + $70 = $90

    Total deposit = $290 + $100 = $390

    Fair bank required total reserve = 10% of $390 = $39

    Excess reserve = Total reserve - Required reserve

    = $90 - $39

    = $51

    Fair bank have $51 after the deposit and loan.
