For the first eight questions on this assignment, consider an economy that has only two banks, Bank
One and Bank Two. Partial balance sheet information for each is given below:
• Bank One:
o $120,000 demand deposits
o $15,000 total reserves on hand
o $30,000 equity
• Bank Two:
o $3800 Deposit in the Fed
O $10,000 total reserves on hand
o $8000 US government bonds
o $80,000 demand deposits
In addition to the above information, members of the public hold $15,000 in cash, and the central
bank requires that banks hold 10% of checking as required reserves (as in all class examples).
Calculate the currency ratio for this whole economy. Round your answer to three decimal places. Do
not turn your answer into a percent; in other words, if you get 0.999, enter only 0.999 in the blank.
