Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

a. The only deposit that is in M1 is the checking deposits, so the amount of this bank's deposits that are in M1 is 400.
b. Deposits in M2 include checking deposits, saving deposits, and time deposits. Therefore the amount of this bank's deposits that are in M2 equals 400 + 900 + 900 = 2,200.
c. Reserves are the sum of the currency in the bank's vault plus its deposits in its reserve account at the Fed. Therefore the bank's reserves are 40 + 40 = 80.
