Question

Bank A has an increase in deposits of $20 million dollars and all bank reserve requirements are 10%. Bank A loans out the full amount of the deposit increase that is allowed. This amount winds up deposited in Bank B. Bank B finds 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

Answer 1

Total increase in deposit = $54,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

deposits = $20 million dollars

bank reserve = 10%

solution

we know that Deposit in bank A is = $20,000,000

and Reserve @ 10% = $2,000,000

so

Bank A loans or bank B deposit will be = $20,000,000 - $2,000,000

Bank A loans or bank B deposit = $18,000,000

here Reserve @ 10% = $1,800,000

so

Bank B loans or Bank C deposit will be here = $18,000,000 - $1,800,000

Bank B loans or Bank C deposit = $16,200,000

so that

Total increase in deposit will be = Bank A + Bank B + Bank C ...............1

put here value we get

Total increase in deposit = $20,000,000 + $18,000,000 + $16,200,000

Total increase in deposit = $54,200,000
