why and how? Bank A has an increase in deposits of $20 million
dollars and all bank reserve requirements are 10 percent. Bank A
loans out the full amount of the deposit increase that is allowed.
This amount winds up deposited in Bank B. Bank B lends out the full
amount possible as well and this amount winds up deposited in Bank
C. What is the total increase in deposits resulting from these
three banks?
38)
A) $60.00 million B) $48.00 million C) $57.10 million D) $56.33
million E) $54.20 million
Ans: E 54.20 million
Increase in deposits of Bank A = $20 million
Bank needs to keep 10% of this increase in deposits as reserves because of reserve requirements. It will loan out the remaining amount.
Amount loaned out = 20*0.9 = $18million
This amount winds up deposited in Bank B.
Therefore,
Increase in deposits of Bank B = $18 million
Bank needs to keep 10% of this increase in deposits as reserves because of reserve requirements. It will loan out the remaining amount.
Amount loaned out = 18*0.9 = $16.2million
This amount winds up deposited in Bank C.
Therefore, increase in deposits in Bank C = $16.2 million
Total increase in deposits from three banks = 20 + 18 + 16.2 = $54.2 million
