Explanation of Solution

The required reserve ratio or cash reserve ratio is inversely related to the money supply. The certain percentage of deposit that the commercial banks are essentially required to keep as in the form of cash according to the central bank direction is known as cash reserve ratio. When the economy’s money supply is lower, the central bank advices the commercial bank to maintain a higher the cash reserve ratio.

The simple deposit multiplier is positively related to money supply. The simple deposit multiplier is the reciprocal of cash reserve ratio. Commercial banks hold certain fraction of deposit and lend the remaining amount for loan purpose, it is known as simple deposit multiplier. When the economy’s money supply is higher, simple deposit multiplier increases.
