a. $700,000; $2,100,000
b. $300,000; $900,000
c. zero; zero
d. $300,000; $300,000

Option (c) zero ; zero

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Bank's assets in total reserve = $1,000,000

Loans = $2,100,000

Building worth = $1,200,000

Demand deposits = $3,000,000

Capital = $1,300,000

Required reserves = one-third of deposits

Now,

Required reserves = one-third of $3,000,000

or

Required reserves = $3,000,000 ÷ 3

= $1,000,000

Thus, excess reserves = Total reserve - Required reserves

= $1,000,000 - $1,000,000

= $0 i.e zero

also,

Amount bank could loan = Amount of excess reserve

= zero

Hence,

Option (c) zero ; zero

answer; a large down payment,a longer term loan, would result in a lower monthly payment;

answer; is the sum of all individual demands curves;
