Will the quantity of money available increase when banks keep their reserves with the reserve bank?
In the US, if a customer deposits currency at a retail bank, the bank will be permitted to issue up to about 10 times the value of the currency in the form of checking and savings funds. One might wonder if the same money multiplier rule applies to the Fed, which is the banker's bank.
In fact, it does not: Reserves in the form of current Federal Reserve Notes (wads of greenbacks) are liabilities of the Fed. Therefore the Fed's financial position does not change when a member bank deposits cash into it. The cash is already debt of the Fed. The Fed merely converts the notes to more reserve credit balances.
However, the Fed is permitted to increase the money supply by purchasing notes from the member banks which mature in the future. In such a transaction, the member bank is posting non-current notes as collateral and the Fed is advancing credit balances payable in current Federal Reserve Notes. If one wants to consider such a transaction to be a deposit, then it is fair to say that this does increase the amount of money in circulation.

When the Federal Reserve wants to increase excess reserves held by banks, it conducts open market purchases of government securities. By buying these securities, the Fed injects liquidity into the banking system, increasing the reserves available to banks. This action encourages banks to lend more, potentially stimulating economic activity. Conversely, if the Fed wants to decrease reserves, it would sell government securities.
How is the change in reserve ratio effect monetary policy?
Changes in reserve ratio have an inverse relationship with the money supply. An decrease in reserve ratio allows banks to keep more excess reserves, and thus make more loans. More loans means an increase in the money supply. An increase has the opposite effect. As a addition to this answer, it can be stated that the so-called epicenter of monetary policy in the US is the reserves market controlled in part by the US Federal Reserve System. It is there that the overnight interest rate that the Fed targets is determined and its open market operations have their impact.

If RRR 8 and a 1000 change in reserves yields a 9090 increase in the money supply what percentage of excess reserves do banks hold?
To calculate the percentage of excess reserves banks hold, we first need to determine the required reserves using the required reserve ratio (RRR) of 8%. If a $1,000 change in reserves leads to a $9,090 increase in the money supply, we can infer the total reserves needed to support that increase. The money multiplier is 9.09 (calculated as $9,090 increase in money supply divided by $1,000 change in reserves). Given the RRR of 8%, the required reserves would be $80 (8% of $1,000), and the excess reserves would be $920 ($1,000 total reserves - $80 required). Thus, the percentage of excess reserves is approximately 92%.
