a.) The current reserve ratio is given by the fraction of the bank's total deposits held in reserves.
Given that the bank's total deposits is $7,200 and the reserves is $1,600, the current reserve ratio is given by:


(1,600)/(7,200) *100\%=22\%.


b.) The loan portfolio is given by (total deposit - reserves) / total deposits

Thus, the loan portfolio of the given bank is given by:


(7,200-1,600)/(7,200) *100\%= (5,600)/(7,200) *100\% \\ \\ =78\%
