The formula for calculating the reserve ratio is: total deposits divided by reserve requirement. reserves times reserve requirement. reserves divided by reserve requirement. reserves divided by total deposits. Assume that the Federal Reserve sets the reserve requirement at 10%. If a bank has $100 million in deposits, then its required reserves must equal: $1 million. $10 million. $90 million. $110 million.
