Answer:

The available balance in the bank for lending is 4000.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the required reserve ratio is 20 percent and a customer deposited 5,000.

It means the 20% of 5000 must be save as required reserve ratio and the remaining part is the available balance in the bank for lending.

[tex]5000\times \frac{20}{100}=1000[/tex]

It means the reserved amount is 1000. The available balance in the bank for lending is

[tex]5000-1000=4000[/tex]

Therefore the available balance in the bank for lending is 4000.
