Answer #1

Answer

It is given that Deposit = 500 and required reserve ratio = 10%. Hence amount bank should hold as reserve(rr) = 10% = 0.10.

Thus amount this bank should hold = 0.10*500 = 50.

From above we can see that he is holding 300(cash) i.e. 250 as excess reserves.

Amount of money created = (1/rr)*250 = (1/0.10)*250 = 2500

Hence, the correct answer is (a) 2,500.
