Hi! Welcome to Chegg!
Due to presence of Chegg policy, I am answering first question.
a.
Required reserves are the amount of funds equal to a specified percentage of the banks own deposit liabilities set by central bank.
On the other hand, actual reserves can be defined as the amount of funds banks actually keep in reserves.
Actual reserves - Required reserves = Excess reserves (if positive).
Excess reserves can never be negative because it is illegal as central bank requires banks to keep atleast required amount in reserves.
If you are satisfied with the answer, please provide a positive rating. Feel free to comment in case of queries.
Have a nice day ahead!
