Clty Bank has estimated that its average dally net transaction accounts balance over the recent 14-day computation period was $249.00 million. The average dally balance with the Fed over the 14-day maintenance period was $9.5 million, and the average daily balance of vault cash over the two-week computation period was $6.5 million. EXAMPLE 13-2 Computation of Dally Average Required Reserves Consider ABC Bank's reserve manager, who wants to assess the bank's minimum cash reserve requirement target. The manager knows the bank's net transaction accounts balance at the close of the banking day on each of the 14 days over the period Tuesday. June 30, to Monday, July 13. Consider the realized net transaction account positions of ABC Bank in Table 13-25. The minimum daily average reserves that a bank mute maintain is computed as a peroentage of the daily average net transaction accounts held by the bank over the two-week computation period, where Friday's balances are carried over for Saturday and Sunday. The minimum daily average for ABCB ank to hold against the daily average of $1,350.70 million in net transaction accounts is calculated as follows (amounts in millions): Daily average net transaction accounts Reserve percentage = Daily average reserves required a. Under the rules effective in 2020, what is the amount of average daily reserves required to be held during the reserve maintenance period for these demand deposit balances? b. What is the average daily balance of reserves held by the bank over the maintenance period? By what amount were the average reserves held higher or lower than the required reserves? c. If the bank had transferred $28 million of its deposits every Friday over the two-week computation period to one of its off-shore facilities, what would be the revised average daily reserve requirement? Under the rules effective in 2020 , what is the amount of average daily reserves required to be held during the reserve maintenance period for these demand deposit balances?
