Here, we are going to prepare the balance sheet of Bank of Marienfield using the information given in the question..

  • Formula for Total liabilities is Capital + Checkable deposit + Loan from bank

Given Information

Capital = $150 Million

Checkable deposit = $100 Million

Loan from bank= $50 Million

Total liabilities = $150 Million + $100 Million + $50 Million

Total liabilities = $300 Million

Additional given Information

Commercial loan = $150 Million

Investment in shares = $120 Million

Investment in Treasury bonds = $20 Million

Required reserve = Checkable deposit * Required reserve rate

Required reserve = $100 Million * 10%

Required reserve = $10 Million

Excess reserve = Total liabilities - (Commercial loan + Investment in shares + Investment in Treasury bonds + Required reserve)

Excess reserve = $300 Million - ($150 Million + $120 Million + $20 Million + $10 Million)

Excess reserve = $300 Million - $300 Million

Excess reserve = $0 Million
