1.Following a new deposit of $1000, the loans of a commercial bank increase by $900. In this situation, the desired reserve ratio is most likely
a.0 percent.
b.10 percent.
c.90 percent.
d.190 percent.
2. If a bank holds $10,000 in desired reserves in order to meet a desired reserve ratio of 10 percent, demand deposits must equal
a.$10,000
b.$20,000
c.$50,000
d.$100,000
(1)
Formula :
Reserves = Deposits - Loan =. Reserves = 1000 - 900 = 100
Assuming this all reserve to be desired reserve. We have desired reserve ratio = (Desired reserve/demand deposits)*100
=> Desired reserve ratio = (100/1000)*100 = 10%
Hence, the correct answer is (b) 10 percent.
(2)
Formula :
Desired reserve ratio = (Desired reserve/demand deposits)*100
=> 10 = (10,000/demand deposits)*100
=> Demand deposits = $100,000
Hence, the correct answer is (d) $100,000
