Suppose that currency in circulation is $800 billion, the amount of checkable deposits is $1200 billion, the required reserve ratio is 10% and excess reserves are $12 billion. a. Calculate the money supply, the currency-to-deposit ratio, the excess reserve ratio, and the money multiplier. b. Suppose the central bank conducts an unusually large open market purchase of bonds held by banks of $2000 billion due to a sharp contraction in the economy. Assuming the ratios you calculated in part (a) remain the same, predict the effect on the money supply. c. Suppose the central bank conducts the same open market purchase as in part (b), except that banks choose to hold all of these proceeds as excess reserves rather than loan them out, due to fear of a financial crisis and bank run. Assuming that currency and deposits remain the same, what happens to the amount of excess reserves, the excess reserve ratio, the money supply, and the money multiplier? d. Go to the FRED web site and graph the Fed's M1 multiplier from January 1995 to December 2016. How does the scenario in part c relate to the graph you created? Include your graph in your submission.

Suppose that you are in an economy with reserve requirements are equal to 15%, and cash drain is equal to 7%. This economy currently has $4,000 total banking deposits in the banking system. All of the banks have zero capital. If the Central Bank lowers the reserve requirements from 15% tp 9%, then what will be the increase in the quantity of total bank deposits in the banking system? Note: round all answers to two decimal places. Do not include currency signs in your answer.
Helen deposits $10,000 of currency into her checking account deposit at Bank A and that the required reserve ratio is 20%. As a result of her deposit, Bank A can make a maximum loan of ____ .

Assume no change in currency holdings as deposits change. A banking system with target reserve ratio 0.20 starts with no excess reserves. If the central bank purchases $210 in government bonds from commercial banks, what will be the ultimate change in money supply (when banks return to having no excess reserves)? Round to two decimal places and do not enter the $ sign. If your answer is $6.114, enter 6.11. If your answer is $6.115, enter 6.12. If appropriate, remember to enter the - sign.
Suppose that the public wishes to hold 0.15 of any rise in its deposits as cash, and that banks wish to hold 0.08 of any rise in deposits in the form of reserves, what would be the value of the money multiplier?
2. Consider the following: B= 1,000 (billion) cr=0.6 TT= 0.15 a. What is the money multiplier, m? b. With this money multiplier, what would the money supply be if the monetary base was 1,000 (billion)? c. Imagine if cr increased to 0.8. What does this mean, in words? How would the money multiplier be affected (if at all)? What about the money supply?
