The FOMC has instructed the FRBNY Trading Desk to purchase $500 million in U.S. Treasury securities. The Federal Reserve has currently set the reserve requirement at 5 percent of transaction deposits. Assume U.S. banks withdraw all excess reserves and give out loans. What is the full effect of this purchase on bank deposits and the money supply if borrowers return only 95 percent of these funds to their banks in the form of transaction deposits?

A well known bank has specialized in adjustable rate mortgages. They have originated 7 billion USD in adjustable rate mortgages. This bank generally raises money by borrowing with shorter term loans and issuing fixed-interest rate Certificates of Deposit.

The federal reserve has announced an increase in their target interest rate of 50 basis points (0.5%). What will the change outlined above do to the bank’s profitability (use gap analysis).
Blue Demon Bank expects that the Mexican peso will depreciate against the dollar from its spot rate of $0.15 to $0.12 in 10 days. The following interbank lending and borrowing rates exist: Assume that Blue Demon Bank has a borrowing capacity of either $10 million or 70 million pesos in the interbank market, depending on which currency it wants to borrow. Assume 360 days in year for your calculations. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. How could Blue Demon Bank attempt to capitalize on its expectations without using deposited funds? Estimate the profits that could be generated from this strategy. Blue Demon Bank can capitalize on its expectations by borrowing (DOLLARS OR PESOS) , converting it to (DOLLARS OR PESOS), lending the (DOLLARS OR PESOS), and repaying to (DOLLARS OR PESOS) loan. The expected profit is $ BLANK? Assume all the preceding information with this exception: Blue Demon Bank expects the peso to appreciate from its present…
