Solution

Under a 100 percent reserve requirement scenario:

  1. It would not allow the banks to make greater loans and would not necessarily increase bank profits. In fact, it could potentially decrease bank profits because banks would not be able to lend out as much money and earn interest on those loans. So, this statement is false.

  2. The demand for loans could potentially be supplied by more unregulated institutions, and they might be riskier than the current fractional-reserve banks. This is because if banks are required to hold all deposits in reserve, they would not be able to lend out as much money. This could create a gap in the market that could be filled by unregulated institutions. So, this statement is true.

  3. It would likely lower bank profits, which weakens rather than strengthens the banks. This is because banks make a significant portion of their profits from lending out money and earning interest. If they are required to hold all deposits in reserve, they would not be able to lend out as much money, which could decrease their profits. So, this statement is true.
