    Answer: $38,000

    Explanation:

    Required reserves = 20% of checkable deposits

    = 20% * 150,000

    = $30,000

    Actual reserves = Required reserves + Excess reserves

    = $30,000 + $8,000

    = $38,000

    Excess reserves = Actual reserves - Required reserves

    = $38,000 - $30,000

    = $8,000

    Therefore, bank's actual reserves is $38,000
