Suppose that Best National Bank currently has $100,000 in demand deposits and $65,000 in outstanding loans. The Federal Reserve has set the reserve requirement at 10%.
Reserves (Dollars) =
Required Reserves (Dollars) =
Excess Reserves (Dollars) =



Answer :

The concept mentioned here is about Reserves and many reserve calculations are mentioned. The answer is $35,000, $10,000, and $25,000.

Reserves are part of profits or gains that have been allotted for a specific purpose. Reserves are used to buy fixed assets, pay bonuses, pay an expected legal settlement, pay for repairs & maintenance and pay off debt.

Given,

demand deposits =$100,000

outstanding loan = $65,000

reserve rate = 10%

1) Reserves = Demand Deposits−Loans

Reserves = 100,000 - 65,000

Reserves = $35,000

2) A bank's required reserves are the portion of its demand deposits that it needs to hold in reserves. The amount of required reserves depends on the legal reserve requirement (in this case 10%) set by the Fed.

Required Reserves = Demand Deposits* Required

Required reserves = 100,000 *10%

Required reserves = $10,000

3) Any reserves that a bank holds beyond its required reserves are excess reserves.

Excess reserves = reserves -required reserves

Excess reserve = 35,000-10,000 = $25,000.

So, we can conclude by saying that the reserves are $35,000, $10,000, and $25,000 respectively.
