If the bank suffers a deposit outflow of $50 with a required reserve ratio on deposits of 10%, what action can be taken? Show, using a revised balance sheet. Explain

Solution:-
Calculate the amount of required reserve as follows:-
Required Reserves = Deposit * required reserve ratio
= 400 * 0.10
= 40 million
Therefore, the bank must hold $40 million in required reserve by federal regulation. It currently has $80 million in reserve so this requirement is met.

Reserve Requirement is (350 * 0.10) = 35
Then to cover this shortage in reserve bank must increase the bank capital by 5. (30 – 35)
