Answer:

Total Assets = 4600    ,Total Liabilities = 4,600

Explanation:

Given:

Deposits = 4,600 million

Reserve requirement = 10% of deposits

Computation:

Reserve requirement = 10% x 4,600 million

Reserve requirement = 460 million

Total Assets = Reserves + Outstanding Loan

Outstanding Loan  = Deposits - Reserve requirement

Outstanding Loan  = 4,600 million - 460 million

Outstanding Loan  = 4,140 million

Balance sheet:

Assets:                                  Liabilities:

Reserves 460               Deposits         4,600

Loans         4140

Total Assets 4600            Total Liabilities 4,600

Reserve requirement = 8%

Reserves requirement = 8% x 4,600

requirement = 368 million

Outstanding  Loans = 4,600 - 368

Outstanding = 4,232  million

New Balance sheet:

Assets:                                  Liabilities:

Reserves 368               Deposits         4,600

Loans         4,232  

Total Assets 4600            Total Liabilities 4,600
