Suppose that we are a bank with $3,000 worth of deposits. We operate in an economy with a mandated reserve ratio of 12%. Suppose that the bank is keeping $450 in reserves currently, loaning out the rest of its deposits. 9. Is the bank meeting its reserve requirements? Does it have excess reserves? How much more or less must the bank lend out to just exactly meet its reserve requirements? 10. If the bank takes the action you prescribe in your answer to Question 9, how much will the total amount of deposits in the whole banking system change? Assume no cash drain. 3 11. Suppose instead that there is cash drain of 8%. Now, how much would this same action prescribed in your answer to Question 9 change the total amount of deposits in the whole banking system?

Which statement about banks and risk is not correct? Select one: a. Banks face liquidity risks from lending activities. This is because the bank's assets are tied up in short- term loans whilst bank liabilities are longer-term b. Banks face credit risks from lending activities. To reduce this risk, banks require that potential borrowers put up some of their own funds or assets to serve as collateral C. Banks create bank money through their lending activities.

One effect of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks was to temporarily prevent banks from accessing reserves they needed to meet the demands of their customers. (This occurred because the attacks destroyed many records as well as the computers required to access backup records, and it took affected banks several weeks to become fully operational.) In response, the Fed made many billions of dollars of reserves available to banks, gradually withdrawing the new reserves from the banking system as that system returned to normal. Suppose the Fed had not injected reserves in this way. What would likely have happened to interest rates as a result? What would have been the likely impact on the stock market and on spending by consumers and businesses? Would the unemployment rate have gone up or down? Explain your reasoning in each case.

Consider the following scenario for a bank.

What is the percentage change in the bank's capital?

How much is now the bank's capital?
Suppose the bank decides to invest 45 percent of its excess reserves in short-term securities in order to earn interest. The bank issues a cashier's check to a securities dealer to purchase the securities. The securities dealer deposits the check into an account at a different bank. What will ACME Bank's balance sheet look like after the check has been processed? Fill in the values in the table below. Assume a required reserve ratio of 10 percent. The balance sheet for ACME Bank is shown below.
