Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Megabux National Bank currently has deposits = $200 million
Fed establishes a reserve requirement = 12 percent
Therefore,
Reserves must be hold by the Megabux national bank against its deposits:
= Amount of Deposits × Required reserve ratio
= $200 million × 12 percent
= $200 million × 0.12
= $24 million
