Expert Solution
Step 1

Given information

Deposits with bank= $10,000,000

 Excess reserves = $5,000,000

Required reserves of $800,000

Required reserves refer to the minimum amount of funds that a bank is legally required to hold in reserve, either as cash in its vault or as deposits with the central bank.

Excess reserves are funds that a bank holds in excess of the amount required by the central bank. These reserves are above and beyond what the bank is required to hold in reserve to meet its obligations to depositors.
