    option (D) $45,000,000

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Required reserve ratio of bank = 30 percent

    Excess reserves = $45,000,000

    Deposits = $100,000,000

    Now,

    The maximum amount of loan that the bank can lend out will be equal to the amount of existing excess reserves that the bank has with them.

    Therefore,

    The maximum loan bank can lend out = Excess reserves

    or

    The maximum loan bank can lend out = $45,000,000

    Hence,

    The correct answer is option (D) $45,000,000
