    Option (A) $130,000,000

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Excess reserves = $80,000,000

    Checkable deposits = $500,000,000

    Reserve requirement by the bank = 10%

    Now,

    The bank's total amount of reserves will be

    ⇒ Reserve requirement * Checkable deposits

    or

    = 10% * $500,000,000

    = 0.10 * $500,000,000

    = $50,000,000

    Hence,

    the total amount of reserve = Required reserve + Excess reserves

    = $80,000,000 + $50,000,000

    = $130,000,000

    Option (A) $130,000,000
