Assume that the banking system of a country has total deposits of 50 billion USD. The required reserves ratio is set at 10%. It is assumed that banks hold no excess reserves and households hold no currency.  Compute the money multiplier and money supply.  Summarize the reasons why the actual money multiplier is significantly smaller than the theoretically possible money multiplier.

The reserve requirement, open market operations, and the moneysupply Consider a system of banking in which the Federal Reserve uses required reserves to control the money supply (as was the case in the United States before 2008). Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency, so the only money exists in the form of demand deposits. To further simplify, assume the banking system has total reserves of $300. Determine the money multiplier as well as the money supply for each reserve requirement listed in the following table. Reserve Requirement Simple Money Multiplier Money Supply (Percent) 5 (0.5, 1, 5, 10 or 20) (150, 300, 1500, 3000 or 6000) 10 (0.5, 1, 5, 10 or 20) (150, 300, 1500, 3000 or 6000) A higher reserve requirement is associated with a (LARGER or SMALLER) money supply. Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $200. Maintain the assumption that banks do not…
Suppose that currency in circulation is $600 billion, the amount of chequable deposits is $900 billion, excess reserves are $15 billion, and the desired reserve ratio ra is 10%. Calculate the money supply, the currency deposit ratio, the excess reserve ratio, and the money multiplier.
Challenge Problem. Assume that the public in the small country of Sylvania does not hold any cash. Commercial banks, however, hold 7 percent of their checking deposits as excess reserves, regardless of the interest rate. In the questions that follow, the "money multiplier" is given by 1/(RR+ ER), where RR - the percentage of deposits that banks are required to keep as reserves ER = the percentage of deposits that banks voluntarily hold as excess reserves Consider the balance sheet of one of several identical banks: Assets Liabilities and Net Worth Reserves 700 Checking Deposits 2,800 Loans 2,100 Net Worth Total Assets 2,800 Liabilities and Net Worth 2,800 The required reserve ratio in this economy is %. (Enter your response as an integer.)

Given the following information Reserve requirement for demand deposits Cash in circulation Demand Deposits Money Market Deposits Reserves loaned from Central Bank = 12% = RM 210 millions = RM 574 millions = RM287 millions = RM 15 millions Non-loan reserves in Central Bank = RM94 millions Excess Reserves = RM 0.96 millions Assume that the money market deposit is not subject to reserve requirements. Calculate the value of money multiplier for M1 and M2 If you wish that the Central Bank will expand its monetary base (M1) so money supply (M1) would grow by 3% over the next one year, how much should the monetary base change in order to realise the changes? 1. 2.
