Respuesta :

Answer:

$100 million

Explanation:

Increase in the total value of checkable deposit is determined by the money multiplier

Reserves = required reserves + excess reserves

Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank

Excess reserves is the difference between reserves and required reserves

Money multiplier = amount deposited / reserve requirement

$30 million / 0.2 + 0.1 = $100 million
