    (A) 22,222.22

    (B) 57,142.86

    Explanation:

    we will divide the deposit by the reserve requirement to know how much will expand the money supply.

    4,000/0.18 = 22,222.22

    4,000/0.07 = 57,142.86

    The reasoning behind this multiplier effect is the following:

    you deposit 4,000

    the bank leave 18% = 920

    And lend the remaninder: 3,080

    Then, when this are deposit, again takes the minimun reserve and lend the remainder:

    3,080 x 18% = 554.4

    3,080 - 554.4 = 2,525.6

    This process is repeated giving diminished amount to money available to lend. Thus, finding a limit on the division between fund and reserve requirement.

    4,000/0.18 = 22,222.22
