Assume that the following asset values (in millions of dollars) exist in Ironmania: Federal Reserve Notes in circulation = $700; Money market mutual funds (MMMFs) held by individuals = $400; Corporate bonds = $300; Iron ore deposits = $50; Currency in commercial banks = $100; Savings deposits, including money market deposit accounts (MMDAs) = $140; Checkable deposits = $1500; Small-denominated (less than $100,000) time deposits = $100; Coins in circulation = $40.
Recall, M1 equals Federal Reserve Notes in circulation plus checkable deposits plus Coins in circulation. M2 equals M1 plus Savings deposits, including Money market deposit accounts (MMDAs) plus Small-denominated (less than $100,000) time deposits plus Money Market Mutual Funds (MMMFs) held by individuals.

Need 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?
Instructions: Give your answer as a whole number.

Hints: Recall, M1 equals Federal Reserve Notes in circulation plus checkable deposits plus Coins in circulation. M2 equals M1 plus Savings deposits, including Money market deposit accounts (MMDAs) plus Small-denominated (less than $100,000) time deposits plus Money Market Mutual Funds (MMMFs) held by individuals.

- Even though credit cards are used by many people in making purchases, they are not included in the M1.

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_forwardThe table below reports the breakdown of assets and liabilities for all commercial banks for January 2020, two months before the start of the COVID-19 recession, and December 2020.

- 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.

(Note: Assuming that the companies are almost identical isolates the impact of the one difference.) If many homeowners began to default on their mortgages, Annovo Financial's financial condition would become better/worse than Bennovo Financial's condition. If most financial institutions were like Annovo Financial, financial institutions could be less/more confident in lending to each other, and a tight credit market would be less/more likely.arrow_forwardQuestion 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.
