The desired reserve ratio is 3 percent. After Barney's deposit, but before any other actions occur, MegaBank will have excess reserves of:**Options:**1. $48.502. $50.003. $15.004. $33.00### Explanation of the Table and ScenarioThe table provided illustrates Mega Bank's initial balance sheet. It lists the assets and liabilities, each totaling $1,000.**Assets**: - **Reserves**: $30- **Loans**: $970- **Total Assets**: $1,000**Liabilities**:- **Deposits**: $1,000- **Total Liabilities**: $1,000**Scenario Explanation**:When Barney deposits $50, the total deposits will increase to $1,050. The reserve requirement is 3%, so to find the required reserves:\[\text{Required Reserves} = 3\% \times \text{Total Deposits} = 0.03 \times 1,050 = $31.50\]Mega Bank initially had $30 in reserves. Adding Barney's deposit, the new reserves amount will be:\[\text{New Reserves} = $30 + $50 = $80\]To calculate the excess reserves, we subtract the required reserves from the new reserves:\[\text{Excess Reserves} = \text{New Reserves} - \text{Required Reserves} = $80 - $31.50 = $48.50\]Therefore, the correct answer is:- **$48.50**This example demonstrates how deposits affect a bank's balance sheet and reserve requirements, illustrating key principles in banking and financial regulation.

Here, the given balance sheet shows the required reserves, loans, and deposits in the balance sheet…
