Refer to the following balance sheet of a banking system:
Assets:
-Reserve $100
-Loans $300
Liabilities:
Deposits $400
The legal reserve ratio is 20%.Suppose all banks loan out their excess reserves and all loans are re-deposited into the banking system.After the credit creation process is completed,what is the amount of reserves held by banks?
I think the answer is referring to the maximum deposit created by the banking system but the correct answer is $100.Can anyone explain the answer to me step by step?Thx in advance!
