Answer:

The correct answer for (a) $ 60,000 (b) $300,000

Explanation:

Solution

(a) Now,

When $75,000 is deposited,  The reserve requirement is:

=0.20 * 75,000 = $15,000

Thus,

The Excess reserve = 75,000 - 15,000 = $60,000

(b) By applying Money multiplier,

Now,

Money multiplier = 1 / Required Reserve ratio

= 1 / 0.2 = 5

Therefore,

The maximum new deposits and loans generated  is = 60,000 * 5

Which gives us,

=$300,000

b. As a result of the $75,000 initial deposit into Goldstar Bank, the banking system can generate a maximum of $__300,000____ in new deposits and loans.

Data and Calculations:

Deposit by a customer = $75,000

Reserve requirement rate = 20%

Reserve requirement in dollars = $15,000 ($75,000 x 20%)

Excess reserve = $60,000 ($75,000 - $15,000)

Maximum in new deposits and loans = $300,000 ($60,000/20%)
