    For finding out the money supply, first we have to determine the reserve amount which is shown below:

    Reserve amount = $10,000 * 10% = $1,000

    Out of which $500 was sold

    The remaining $500 reflects the decrease in the loan value which affects the money supply also.

    The money supply would be computed below

    = $500 * 1 : 10%

    = $5,000

    This money supply would decreased by $5,000
