Answer #1

Required Reserve Ratio = 10%  

Checkable deposit = $1250000

Required Reserve = Required Reserve Ratio * Checkable Deposit

Required Reserve = (10%) ($1250000)

Required Reserve = $125000

Actual Reserve = $140000 (Given)

Excess reserve = Actual Reserve - Required Reserve

Excess Reserve = $140000 - $125000

Excess Reserve = $15000.
