Explanation / Answer

Initial reserve of fair bank = 70

Checkable deposit amount = 240

New deposit = 100

Total deposit amount = 240+100

                                                = 340

Reserves required = 340 x 10%

                                     = 34

Excess reserve = 70 -34

                                = 36
