Answer to Question 1
Actual reserves are equal to the bank's reserves it keeps on deposit at the Federal Reserve plus the currency in the bank's vault. Required reserves are equal to the required reserve ratio multiplied by the bank's deposits. Banks might want to keep reserves over and above their required reserves. The amount of reserves banks want to keep is their desired reserves. Excess reserves equal actual reserves minus desired reserves. A bank can make loans equal to the amount of its excess reserves.
