Suppose that banks are required to hold reserves equal to at least 4 per cent of their deposits and hold no excess reserves. Also suppose that desired holdings of currency by the non-bank public are 3 per cent of deposits. The total money supply is $450m. From this information calculate the following. [Note: enter numerical values only. No words or symbols] The simple deposit multiplier (to one decimal place) The money multiplier (to one decimal place) The monetary base ($m to one decimal place) $

Suppose that the demand for money function was MD = 4Y − 1000i where MD is the quantity of money demanded, i is the rate of intest (an interest of 5 means 5 percent in this problem), and Y is real national income, which currently is 1500. The supply of money is 1000, currency in circulation outside the banking system is 100, the target reserve ratio is 10 percent, there is no cash drain in the banking system, and the recessionary gap is 250. The price level does not change in this problem. What is the level of cash reserve of the banking system?
Suppose that the reserve requirement is 6.7%. If the Fed buys $5 million in bonds from the First national Bank, what is the total deposit creation in the banking system using the simple deposit multiplier? (Please answer ASAP. I will rate positively)
3 Please Answer the following two Economics Questions: 1. Consider an economy where the ratio of required reserves to bank deposits isr = 0.15, the ratio of currency holdings to deposits is c = 0.2, the ratio of bankexcess reserves to deposits is e = 0.25 and the monetary base is 100. Showhow to calculate the value of the M1 money multiplier predicted by the moneymultiplier model. Explain your answer 2. If monetary velocity is 5, the GDP price deflator equals 2 and real GDP is 250,what is the money supply? Explain your answer
Suppose Cindy purchases a meal at a local Baton Rouge restaurant and pays with her debit card. Everything else held constant, this purchase will cause the money multiplier to _____ and the money supply to _____. Select one: A. remain unchanged; increase B. remain unchanged; remain unchanged C. remain unchanged; decrease D. increase; increase E. decrease; decrease F. decrease; increase G. increase; decrease
Analyse briefly the impact of the overall change in the money multiplier and the moneysupply as a result of the policies implemented by the Savers’ bank.
You are given the following information: Bank deposits (D) 350 Currency-to-deposits ratio (c) 0.20 Required reserve ratio (rr) 0.15 Solve for the monetary base level (B) in this economy. Solve for the level of bank reserves (R) in this economy. Solve for the money supply level (M) in this economy. Suppose there is a sudden rise in the currency-to-deposits ratio, from the original level of 0.2 to a new level of 0.4. If everything else remains unchanged, find the level of monetary base needed to keep money supply fixed at the level you solved for in part c. Continue to consider c=0.4. Find the level of required reserve ratio needed to keep the monetary base and the money supply fixed at the level you solved or in parts a and c, respectively.
Suppose the banking system has a vault cash of GHc1,000 deposit at the central bank of GHc2,000 and demand deposits of Ghc10,000. a. if the reserve requirement is 20 percent, what is the maximum potential increase in the money supply given the banks reserve position? b. If the central bank now purchases GHc500 worth of government bonds from private bond dealers, what are excess reserves of the banking system? ( Assume that the bond dealers deposit the Ghc500 in demand deposit). How much can the banking system increase the money supply given the new reserve position?
Suppose a central bank has a required reserve ratio of 6.6% for all banks and the central bank changes reserves at one of these banks by $536. By how much will the money supply change, at most, after all the effects of the money multiplier? (Round this to two digits after the decimal and enter this value as either a positive value or a negative value without the dollar sign.)
Assume that the reserve requirement ratio is 20 percent. Calculate the dollar value of the reserves that the Bank of Uchenna is required to hold. Given the current reserves, calculate the maximum value of additional loans that the Bank of Uchenna can make. Assume that Elike raises $5,000 in cash from a yard sale and deposits the cash in his checking account at the Bank of Uchenna. By how much does the money supply immediately change as a result of Elike’s deposit? Calculate the maximum change in demand deposits in the banking system as a whole resulting from Elike’s deposit. If the Bank of Uchenna is not meeting its reserve requirement, what action can it take to meet the reserve requirement without calling in loans or selling property?
The economy is also characterised by the following features;Total deposits = $250,000,Total currency in circulation = $45,000; andTotal reserves = $25,000.Given the information above, calculate the money multiplier and hence the changein the money supply if total reserves increase by 10%.
