Answer:

The right response is "141.7875".

Explanation:

According to the question,

The total reserves held will be:

= [tex]0.8\times 150+0.3\times 90+0.05\times 45[/tex]

= [tex]120+27+2.25[/tex]

= [tex]149.25[/tex]

Deductions will be:

= [tex]5 \ percent \ of \ 149.25[/tex]

= [tex]0.05\times 149.25[/tex]

= [tex]7.4625[/tex]

now,

The bank's liability liquidity reserve will be:

= [tex]Total \ reserves \ held-Deductions[/tex]

= [tex]149.25-7.4625[/tex]

= [tex]141.7875[/tex]
