b. The bank must have lent out an additional $4,000.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. The bank has excess reserves of $100

Explanation:

Base on the scenario been described in the question, since the former reserve ratio is 0.1 and after Linda made a deposit of $4,000 with the bank not having any excess reserve

Linda deposits will give the bank a reserve of $4,000×0.1= $400

The bank reserve increase to $500

That mean it has = $500 - $400

= $100 reserve before Linda deposits
