Congress building for $1,500,000 and deposits the remainder of its cash as reserves at the Fed. On show what the complete balance sheet of the bank looks like after the purchase of the property. 2. President Fuentes is Hilltop Bank's first customer, and she deposits $500,000 on behalf of St. Edward's into the school's new account there. a. On show what the balance sheet looks like after Pres. Fuentes deposits the money into the school's account at the bank. Again, assume that the bank keeps all of its cash in reserves at the Fed. b. Assuming a reserve ratio of 10%, how much does the bank need to keep in required reserves? Therefore, how much does it have available to loan out? 3. When Pres.
