Answer:

Reserve requirement = 40 / 300

Explanation:

Given:

Excess reserve = $5 million

Total deposit = $300 million

Total loan = $255 million

Computation of reserve requirement:

Reserve requirement = (Total deposit - Excess reserve - Total loan) / Total deposit

Reserve requirement = ($300 - $255 - $5) / $300

Reserve requirement = ($300 - $260) / $300

Reserve requirement = ($40) / $300

Reserve requirement = 40 / 300
