Answer:

c. $360 increase in excess reserves and a $40 increase in required reserves

Explanation:

Required reserves is the amount of reserves that is required by the Central bank that banks should keep.

Required reserve = reserve ratio × deposit

= 0.1 × $400 = $40

Excess reserve is the amount of reserves kept in excess of the required reserves.

Excess reserve = Deposit - Required reserve = $400 - $40 = $360
