Economics Consider the model of financial intermediation seen in Chapter 3. Money is denoted by M, currency by C and demand deposits by D. Currency in the economy is initially $4,000, so C = $4,000. Suppose households deposit all of their currency in “Firstbank”. 1. Suppose banks hold 100% of deposits as reserves. Then the money supply is 2. Suppose that banks hold only 30% of deposits as reserves, and lend 70% of deposits.
