In a limited reserves model, the required reserve ratio is 10%, the bank holds no excess reserves. It has $100,000 in checkable deposits and has already loaned out $60,000. How much more can it loan out and what is the total change in the money supply from the $100,000 in checkable deposits? 

Res Req = $10,000

Excess Res = $90,000 (It's already loaned out $60,000). Additional amount it can loan out = $30,000. 

Change in Money supply from $100,000 in Checkable deposits = $100,000 x 10 (multi)= $1 Million
