B) $8,000
C) $10,000
D) $50,000

Respuesta :

Answer:

Maximum money that bank can lend is  $50,000

Explanation:

Given data:

Amount deposit is $10,000

reserve ratio is 0.20

Maximum money that bank can lend is calculated as

maximum money = (deposit - reserve)× money multiplier

money multiplier [tex]= \frac{1}{reserve\ ratio}[/tex]

money multiplier[tex]= \frac{1}{0.20} = 5[/tex]

and reserve is zero hence

maximum money = (10,000 - 0)× 5

maximum money = $50,000
