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?arrow_forwardNeed help. Assume that securitization combined with borrowing and irrational exuberance in Hyperville have driven up the value of asset-backed financial securities at a geometric rate, specifically from $4 to $8 to $16 to $32 to $64 to $128 over a six-year time period. Over the same period, the value of the assets underlying the securities rose at an arithmetic rate from $4 to $6 to $8 to $10 to $12 to $14. If these patterns hold for decreases as well as for increases, by how much would the value of the financial securities decline if the value of the underlying asset suddenly and unexpectedly fell by $6?

- Question 1) Explain what will happen to M1 and M2 measures of money supply if an individual moves money from demand deposit account to a small-denomination time deposit. Question 2) Issuing marketable securities is the primary way businesses finance their operations. Trueor false? Explain your answer. If a four-year bond with a $2000 face value has a coupon rate of 2.5%, and the currentmarket interest rate is 4%, what is the market price of the bond? If this bond sold for $1900, is theyield to maturity greater or less than 4%? Why?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_forwardSuppose that the bank holds $15m of treasury bonds, $10m of reserves, $30m of checkable deposits, $20 of time deposits and has $6m of capital.

Show the effect this has on the balance sheets of the central bank and Kangaroo Bank. If the customer uses those funds to buy a house from a person who banks with Koala Bank, show the effects this will have on the balance sheets of Kangaroo and Koala Bank.

Show the effects this would have on the balance sheets of commercial banks and the central bank.
