Solutions

Expert Solution

Reserve ratio according to the figures = reserve/deposit = $80 / $880 = 0.09 or 9%

Loans that can be granted according to reserve ratio = $880 x 0.91 (91%) = $800(approx.)

But, the loans given in excess = $842 - $800 = $42

To keep bank capital from falling below $25, it has to write down = $42 – 20 = $22

Thus correct option is $22
