Answer to Question 1

Reserves are assets held by a depository institution that are used to meet withdrawal demands. In the U.S. Federal Reserve System, reserves include deposits held by Federal Reserve district banks for depository institutions plus the vault cash in the depository institution. Total reserves are anything that the law allows banks to claim as reserves. Required reserves are the value of reserves the depository institution must hold and excess reserves are the reserves the institution holds in excess of the required reserves.
