Suppose that the reserve requirement for checkingdeposits is 10 percent and that banks do not hold anyexcess reserves.a. If the Fed sells $1 million of government bonds,what is the effect on the economy’s reserves andmoney supply?b. Now suppose that the Fed lowers the reserverequirement to 5 percent but that banks chooseto hold another 5 percent of deposits as excessreserves. Why might banks do so? What is theoverall change in the money multiplier and themoney supply as a result of these actions?
Calculate what happens to nominal GDP if velocityremains constant at 4 and the money supply increasesfrom $250 billion to $375 billion
Suppose the central bank is following a constantmoney-growth-rate rule and the economy is hit witha severe economic downturn. Use an aggregate supply and demand graph to show the possible effects onthe economy. How does this situation reflect on thecredibility of the central bank if it maintains the moneygrowth rule? How does it reflect on the central bank’scredibility if it abandons the money growth rule torespond to the downturn?
The Federal Reserve expands the money supply by 5 percent.a. Use the theory of liquidity preference to illustrate in a graph theimpact of this policy on the interest rate.b. Use the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply to illustratethe impact of this change in the interest rate on output and the pricelevel in the short run.c. When the economy makes the transition from its short-runequilibrium to its new long-run equilibrium, what will happen to theprice level?d. How will this change in the price level affect the demand for moneyand the equilibrium interest rate?e. Is this analysis consistent with the proposition that money has realeffects in the short run but is neutral in the long run?
1. Suppose that the reserve requirement for chequing deposits is 15 % and the banks donot hold any excess reserves. What is the effect on the economy’s reserves and themoney multiplier if the central bank sells $2 million of government bonds? 2. Now suppose the central bank lowers the reserves requirement to 5%, but the Savers’banks choose to hold another 5% deposits as excess reserves. State two reasons whythe Savers’ bank want to hold excess reserves. 3. Analyse briefly the impact of the overall change in the money multiplier and the moneysupply as a result of the policies implemented by the Savers’ bank.
Suppose a researcher discovers that a measure of thetotal amount of debt in the U.S. economy over thepast 20 years was a better predictor of inflation andthe business cycle than M1 or M2. Does this discoverymean that we should define money as equal to the totalamount of debt in the economy?

Solve D) and E) . Solve correctly
a) Which of the follwing monetary policy actions can be used to close an inflationary gap?O No change in the money supply to keep interest rates constant.ODecrease the money supply to decrease interest rates,OIncrease the money supply to increase interest rates.O Increase the money supply to decrease interest rates.O Decrease the money supply to increase interest rates. b) Assume the economy is initially at full-employment equilibrium. Suppose the economy slows down and uncertainty increases, reducing consumption and investment expenditures, in the short run, this shock willcause the economy to fall below full enployment. To move the economy to a full-employment equilibrium, the Fed could:O. decrease government spendingO. increase corporate tax ratesO. lower the federal fund rate targetO. increase government spending O. raise interest rates
