Required reserves = (required reserve ratios)*checkable deposits

Excess reserves = Reserves – Required reserves

1) National Bank

Required Reserves = 0.1*34 = $3.4 million

Excess reserves = 4 – 3.4 = $0.6 million

2) Commonwealth Bank

Required Reserves = 0.1*45 = $4.5 million

Excess reserves = 5 – 4.5 = $0.5 million.
