Answer 1

Answer:

b. $40,000

Explanation:

Calculation for What additional money Carland National Bank can create

Using this formula

Additional money=Total Reserves-(Demand Deposits*Reserve requirement percentage)

Let plug in the formula

Additional money = $60,000 -( $200,000*10%)

Additional money = $60,000-$20,000

Additional money = $40,000

Therefore the additional money Carland National Bank can create will be $40,000
