- Suppose that Continental Bank has the simplified balance sheet shown below and that the reserve ratio is 20 percent:a. What is the maximum amount of new loans that this bank can make? Show in column 1 how the bank’s balance sheet will appear after the bank has lent this additional amount. b. By how much has the supply of money changed? Explain. c. How will the bank’s balance sheet appear after checks drawn for the entire amount of the new loans have been cleared against the bank? Show the new balance sheet in column 2. d. Answer questions a, b, and c on the assumption that the reserve ratio is 15 percent.arrow_forward7 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_forwardSince 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.arrow_forward
- 4. a) Suppose that Tk.10,000 in new taka bills (never seen before) falls magically from the sky into your hands. What are the minimum increase and the maximum increase in the money supply that may result? 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. In this case, would the maximum increase in the money supply be what you found it to be in part a)?

What would this imply for the demand for currency in a relatively insecure urban environment (a) compared with a relatively safe one, (b) when owner-identified smart cards become available? Do these factors affect the demand for demand deposits? How would the proportion of currency to demand deposits be affected in these cases? 10. Can the transactions demand model be used to explain why financial innovations in recent decades have reduced the transactions demand for M1? 11. Are transactions demand models useless, as Sprenkle (1969) argued? If they are, how would you explain the demand for M1 or just for demand deposits in the economy?arrow_forward
