The reserve requirement, open market operations, and the moneysupply Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency, so the only form of money is demand deposits. To simplify the analysis, suppose the banking system has total reserves of $300. Determine the money multiplier and the money supply for each reserve requirement listed in the following table. Reserve Requirement Simple Money Multiplier Money Supply (Percent) (Dollars) 5 10 A higher reserve requirement is associated with a money supply. Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $200. Again, you can assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency. If the reserve requirement is 10%, the Fed will use open-market operations to worth of U.S. government bonds. Now, suppose that, rather than immediately lending out all excess reserves, banks begin…

Assets Reserves Loans Bank's Balance Sheet $150 Liabilities and Owners' Equity $1,200 Deposits $600 Debt Securities $750 Capital (owners' equity) $200 $100 Suppose the owners of the bank borrow $100 to supplement their existing reserves.
