Answer: $50,000
Explanation:
Deposit = $10,000
Required reserve ratio (RR) = 20%
HERE, the bank deposit reserve = $10,000
Maximum checking account deposit :
(1 ÷ required reserve ratio) × deposit reserve
(1 ÷ 0.2) × $10,000
5 × $10,000 = $50,000
Therefore, checking account deposits in the banking system as a whole (including the original deposit) could eventually increase up to a maximum of $50,000
