BANK HAS THE FOLLOWING BALANCE SHEET:

Assets                                             Liabilities                         

Reserves     $   50 million              Checkable deposits         $200 million

Securities        50 million             

Loans             150 million              Bank capital                     50 million

Transaction: UNEXPECTED DEPOSIT OUTFLOW OF $50 MILLION

Balance sheet after transaction:

Assets                                             Liabilities                         

Reserves     $ 0 million              Checkable deposits         $150 million

Securities $ 50 million             

Loans $ 150 million              Bank capital                     50 million

Required reserve ratio = 10%

Therefore required reserve = $ 150 million x 10% = $ 15 million

Therefore, bank manager should sell securities of $ 15 million and keep it in reserves to meet the requirement of minimum reserve ratio.
