Follow-up Question

Wasn't the $25,000 on the initial Reserve considered Required Reserve? If so, the Excess Reseve would originally be $75,000 (100,000*0.75). When the household deposited $4,000 into the bank, the Deposits increased from $100,000 to $104,000. Since the Required Reserve Ratio was 25%, that means, Required Reserve increases $1,000 (4,000*25%), and has $26,000 ($104,000*25%) or ($25,000 + 1,000). As a result, the Excess Reserve now increased 3,000 (4,000 -1,000), and becomes $78,000 ($75,000 + 3000).

Wasn't the answer supposed to be $78,000?
