Suppose all banks have zero excess reserves. The Fed buys bonds for $1 million and a bond dealer deposits the check in his or her bank. The required reserve ratio is 8 percent. The bank loans out the maximum it is allowed to a local business. The business writes a check for the full amount for supplies, which is then deposited in another bank. The largest loan the second bank can make is: The largest loan the second bank can make is $. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
The Federal Reserve purchases $12 million in U.S. Treasury bonds from a bond dealer, and the dealer's bank credits the dealer's account. The required reserve ratio is 15 percent, and the bank typically lends any excess reserves immediately. Assuming that no currency leakage occurs, calculate how much will the bank be able to lend to its customers following the Fed's purchase. Smillion. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to fix the U.S. exchange rate with the yen at $0.008 per yen. If the equilibrium market exchange rate were significantly lower at $0.007 per yen, what would the Fed need to do to maintain the fixed rate of $0.008 per yen? What would be the effect of these actions on the money supply in the U.S.? Explain.
Suppose the simplified consolidated balance sheet shown below is for the entire commercial banking system and that all figures are in billions of dollars. The reserve ratio is 25 percent. Assets Reserves Securities Loans $ 1 52 48 100 (a) $ (b) Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. billion Liabilities and net worth Checkable deposits a. What is the amount of excess reserves in this commercial banking system? $ billion What is the maximum amount the banking system might lend? $ billion $ 1' 200 (a) Show in columns 1(a) and 1'(a) how the consolidated balance sheet would look after this amount has been lent. Enter these new values in the gray shaded cells of the given table. What is the size of the monetary multiplier? (b) b. Using the original figures, answer the questions in part a assuming the reserve ratio is 20 percent. What is the amount of excess reserves in this commercial banking system?
If the required reserve ratio (RRR) in U.S. is 10 percent and you deposit $5,000, which is wired from your parents’ bank account in Germany to your checking account in the U.S. National Bank, then the change in the U.S. money supply eventually should be Group of answer choices a $45,000 increase. a $5,000 increase. no change. a $50,000 increase.
Suppose a central bank has a required reserve ratio of 6.6% for all banks and the central bank changes reserves at one of these banks by $536. By how much will the money supply change, at most, after all the effects of the money multiplier? (Round this to two digits after the decimal and enter this value as either a positive value or a negative value without the dollar sign.)
Assume the Fed sells $32,140 worth of U.S. Treasury bonds to the First National Bank. Assuming that the required reserve ratio is 10.5 percent, then the money supply in the economy will ultimately: decrease by a maximum of $32,140. decrease by a maximum of $28,765. decrease by a maximum of $257,120. decrease by a maximum of $306,095. decrease by a maximum of $273,955.
Suppose that the central bank has increased the money supply such that there is an additional $989699 in excess reserves. If the reserve ratio is 4.0 percent, what is the maximum increase in money supply? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Suppose the money supply is currently $500 billion and the Fed wishes to increases it by $100 billion. Given a required reserve ration of 0.25, what should it do? If it decided to change the money supply by changing the required reserve ratio, what change should it make? Why may the Fed be reluctant to change the reserve requirement?
Suppose you win on a scratch-off lottery ticket and you decide to put all of your $3,500 winnings in the bank. The reserve requirement is 5%. What is the maximum possible increase in the money supply as a result of your bank deposit? maximum increase: $ Which events could cause the increase in the money supply to be less than its potential? Banks choose to loan out all excess reserves. Some loan recipients choose to hold some cash instead of depositing all of it in banks. Banks decide to keep some excess reserves on hand. All money loaned out is deposited back into the banking system.
To counter the economic disruption resulting from the 2020 pandemic, the Federal Reserve reduced the commercial bank reserve requirement to 0% instead of 10% in 2019. Please discuss how this Federal Reserve action supported the economic recovery from the pandemic and affected the money supply. In addition, the Federal Reserve started buying monthly $80 billion of US Treasury bonds and $40 billion of Mortgage Backed Securities. Please discuss how this Federal Reserve action supported the economic recovery from the pandemic and affected the money supply and yields/interest rates.
Assume that banks are able to lend out 85 cents on every dollar deposited, and a bank receives $9,000 in deposits. If the reserve requirement is altered to 10%, what will this do to the money supply? What does this do to equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds? (Show on a graph.) What is another way the Federal Reserve will achieve the same outcome in Part 1?
