    A. $1000

    Explanation:

    First Bank's Excess Reserves = $5,000

    Amount of Check = $6,000

    First Bank's amount short of reserve = Excess Reserves - Amount of deposit withdraw

    First Bank's amount short of reserve = $5,000 - $6,000

    First Bank's amount short of reserve = - $1,000

    First Bank is short of reserves in the amount of $1,000.
