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?

Suppose that the Federal Reserve conducts open market operations by purchasing $1,000 worth of government securities from Bank A. As a result, Bank A finds itself with $1,000 in excess reserves that it lends out and those funds end up in Bank B. Q с D A) $1,000 B $900 Bank $990 A B Increase in Checkable Deposits $0 $1,000 $810 I New Required Reserves $0 LA $90 Refer to Table 13-1. What are the new checkable deposits created by extending new loans for Bank B? New Checkable Deposits Created by Extending New Loans $1,000
Pretend that the country is in a normal economic climate. Suppose that the Federal Reserve, announces that the Fed plans to initiate the purchase of $2 million worth of Treasury and other bonds that banks and the public are currently holding. The reserve requirement for banks is 10% of deposits. In as much detail as possible, trace through all the steps between this announcement and the ultimate effects on the (i) money supply, (ii) interest rates, and (iii) inflation. Please utilize text explanations, graphs, T-accounts, and equations.

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…

Imagine that you work for OstBank, a fictional European bank, as part of the team that manages repurchase agreements with the European Central Bank (ECB). If the ECB lowers the refinancing rate from 2% to 1%, OstBank will borrow from the ECB. To execute this change, OstBank could v the ECB. The result would be in OstBank's reserves, prompting OstBank to make loans. Because banks making loans lead to deposits, and deposits in the banking system are part of the money supply, a decrease in the ECB's refinancing rate will tend to the money supply in Europe.
