If a bank has a required reserve ratio of 15 percent and has required reserves of $225,000,000, how much does the bank hold in deposits?

Answer :

Answer:

$1,500,000,000

Explanation:

The formula to compute the required reserve ratio is shown below:

Required reserve ratio = (Required reserves maintained) ÷ (Deposit of Bank)

15% = ($225,000,000) ÷ (Deposit of Bank)

So, the deposit of the bank would be

= ($225,000,000) ÷ (15%)

= $1,500,000,000

The required reserve ratio shows a relationship of maintaining the required reserve and the deposit of bank
