Working notes
New initial required reserves = 0.10 × $750 million = $75 million
Change in bank deposits = (1/(0.10 + (1 0.50))) × ($60 million - $75 million) = $ 25 million
Loans:
$725 million $72.5 million = $652.500million
Transaction deposits:
$750 million + ($15 million × (1/(0.10 + 0.50))) = $725.000 million
Reserve deposits at Fed:
$725 million × 0.10 = $72.5 million
