13. Suppose that the T-account for Nan Bank Inc. is as follows:Assets LiabilitiesReserves $100,000Loans $400,000 Deposits $500,000If the Bank of Canada requires banks to hold 5 percent of deposits asreserves, how much in excess reserves does Nan Bank Inc. now hold?Assume that all other banks hold only the required amount of reserves. IfNan Bank Inc. decides to reduce its reserves to only the required amount, byhow much would the economy's money supply increase?
Since the Fed has begun paying interest on bank reserves at the Fed, do barks still want to avoid holding excess reserves?
Context: If lending was more profitable than the currently very low interest rate (formerly zero) that could be received from the Fed on excess reserves, we would still normally expect barks to lend out excess reserves rather than maintain them as excess reserves Judging from the fact that there has been a huge increase in holdings of excess reserves in the barking system, however, there may well be other constraints (such as Basel III) that may be limiting bank's willingness to lend out excess reserves.

- 7 Suppose that liabilities of the Central Bank are 90% reserves and 10% currency, and currency is not held by banks. Further, a 30% reserve/deposit limit for banks exists, and households hold 10% of their assets in currency, and the rest in deposits. A $1 increase in central bank liabilities at the stated 90/10 ratio leads to what $ increase in M2? [please answer the question NOT in %, but in absolute numbers]arrow_forward1. Let's pretend that our current system of money was strictly Base Ten, so that the only currency that we used were pennies, dimes, one dollar bills, ten dollar bills, hundred dollar bills, thousand dollar bills and so on. Instead of drawing pictures of the money, these abbreviations for each kind of coin or bill will be used: penny (A), dime (B), one dollar bill (C), ten dollar bill (D), hundred dollar bill (E), thousand dollar bill (F), and so on. Since you are entering the teaching profession, you probably won't need to handle anything higher than a thousand dollar bill, but who knows what the future holds?

Assume the required reserve ratio is 10 percent.b) Suppose you receive Tk. 10,000 from your grandmother and deposits the money in a saving account. your grandmother gave you the money by writing a check on her saving account. Would the maximum increase in the money supply still be what you found it to be in part a) where you received the money from the sky? Why or why not?c) Suppose that instead you getting Tk. 10,000 from the sky or a check through your grandmother, you get the money from your mother who had buried it in a can in her backyard.

Suppose that in 2018 customers deposit $4,000 into their bank accounts. Based on the extended money multiplier calculated in part (1), calculate the total amount which the money supply in the banking system will eventually increase to. Show all steps involved in the calculation. part 1 answer DRR = Ratio (4% or 0.04) CDR = % of money in wallets (3% or 0.03) = (1 + 0.03) / (0.04 + 0.03) = 1.03 / 0.07 Answer = 14.71 Therefor Every $1 in the bank will allow the bank to create $14.71arrow_forward
