Answer and Explanation:

The excess reserves are the reserves banks that maintain more the legal requirement. It shows the difference between the required reserve and the actual reserve

Hence, the last option is correct

Now the required reserve is

= ($11,000 × 11%)

= $1,210

And, the excess reserve is

= $2,200 - $1,210

= $990

Hence, the same would be relevant
