1. Suppose that the reserve requirement against deposits is 0%, but that cautious banks voluntarily hold 5% of their deposits in reserve, just in case and that people hold no currency-all money is held in the form of checking deposits. a. Suppose that the Federal Reserve purchases $30,000 worth of government bonds from Ellen (a private citizen), and that Ellen deposits all of the proceeds from the sale into her checking account at Z Bank. Construct a balance sheet, with assets on the left and liabilities on the right, to show how Ellen's deposit creates new assets and liabilities for Z Bank. b. How much of this new deposit can Z Bank lend out? Assume that it lends this amount to George, who then deposits the entire amount into his account at Y Bank. Show this on Y Bank's balance sheet. c. How much of this new deposit can Y Bank lend out? Suppose Joe takes out a lo for this amount from Y Bank and deposits the money into his account at X Bank

4. ● There are 2 investors. Each has deposited $10 in the same bank. The bank invested both deposits in a single long-term project. If the bank wants to end the project before its completion, a total of $12 can be recovered (out of the $20 invested). If the bank waits until the project is completed, it will receive a total of $30. Investors can withdraw money from their bank accounts at only 2 periods: before the project is completed and after. The extensive from representation of the game between both investors is depicted below: Withdraw Not 2 Not Withdraw Not 10 2 1 2 10 Withdraw Withdraw 15 Withdraw 6 6 2 Not Withdraw 20 10 Not Not 15
