Respuesta :

Answer:The answer is $ 12

Explanation:

Using the formula total credit /Money created = Total deposit /Cash reserve ratio

Total deposit = $150

Cash reserve ratio = 12.5%

150/12.5

=12

Therefore, the total money created in the banking system is $12. From the above, it could be rightly said that creation of money by banks is a process whereby the banks received deposit from customers and give the deposit to borrowers in the form of loan after deducting cash or reserve ratio.
