You just deposited $4,000 in cash into a checking account at the local bank. Assume that banks lend out all excess reserves
and there are no leaks in the banking system. That is, all money lent by banks gets deposited in the banking system. Round
your answers to the nearest dollar.
If the reserve requirement is 20%, how much will your
deposit increase the total value of checkable bank deposits?
If the reserve requirement is 8%, how much will your deposit
increase the total value of checkable deposits?
Increasing the reserve requirement
decreases
the
money supply.
