Explanation / Answer
Question 19
Total demand deposits = Demand deposits (consumers) + Demand deposits (Business firms)
Total demand deposits = $50,000 + $100,000 = $150,000
Reserve requirements = 10% or 0.10
Required reserves = $150,000 * 0.10 = $15,000
Total reserves = Cash + Federal reserve account = $5,000 + $35,000 = $40,000
Excess reserves = Total reserves - Required reserves = $40,000 - $15,000 = $25,000
So,
Friedman National has excess reserves of $25,000.
Question 20
A bank can lend an amount equal to excess reserves it held without incurring a required reserve deficiency.
Friedman National has excess reserves of $25,000.
So,
The maximum new loan that Friedman National can make without incurring a required reserve deficiency is $25,000.
Question 21
Earning assets are those that generates income for the owner. In case of bank, earning assets are investment securities, loans etc.
Calculate the value of earning assets for Friedman National -
Earning assets = Securities + Loans = $60,000 + $100,000 = $160,000
So,
Friedman National's holding of earning assets are $160,000.
