Suppose the Federal Reserve sells a $3000 bond, and the reserve ratio maintained by all private banks is 20%. Assume that all loans are fully redeposited (zero “cash drains”) and that all deposits are checkable deposits. Determine the effect of the bond sale on total loans and deposits in the private banks. Explain in detail how these changes would occur. Illustrate the total result of the effects in part (1) using balance sheets for the consolidated private banks and the Federal Reserve, respectively. Discuss how the effects in part (1) would be different if: (i) the reserve ratio was 25% instead of 20%; (ii) a certain portion of loans were held as cash outside banks instead of being redeposited in the banks.
