Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

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. Desired reserves are the reserves that the bank wants to hold. The amount of desired reserves is equal to the desired reserve ratio multiplied by the bank's deposits. Excess reserves equal actual reserves minus desired reserves. A bank can make loans equal to the amount of its excess reserves.
