Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

A bank's reserves refer to the sum of the amount of cash physically held by the bank, and deposits held in the bank's account with the Federal Reserve.

In our case therefore,

Cash held by bank = $100

Cash held by Federal Reserve =$400

Total = $100 + $400 = $ 500
