Answer: $64 million

Explanation:

Deposit = $80 million

Reserved Required Ration = 20%(0.20)

Firstly, we have to calculate Reserve Requirements before we can calculate the excess reserve.

Reserve Requirements= (Deposit x Reserve Requirements Ratio).

Reserve Requirements= ($80million x 0.2)

Reserve Requirements= $16million

Therefore,

Eccess Reserve = ( Deposit - Reserve Requirements)

Eccess Reserve= ( $80million - $16million)

Eccess Reserve = $64million

The amount of Excess Reserve which can be loaned out is $64million
