Answer to Question 1

With a required reserve ratio of 5 percent, required reserves = 400 and loanable funds = 7,600.

With a required reserve ratio of 8 percent, required reserves = 640 and loanable funds = 7,360.

With a required reserve ratio of 13 percent, required reserves = 1,040 and loanable funds = 6,960.

With a required reserve ratio of 26 percent, required reserves = 2,080 and loanable funds = 5,920.

Answer to Question 2

True
