a. If Bank A wishes to hold no excess reserves form the deposit of $1,000, then the deposits would go up by $1,000 in liabilities. In the assets, the required reserves increase by $100 (10% required reserve of $1,000) and loans increase by $900 as the bank lends all the remaining reserves holding no excess reserve.

Economics Concept Introduction

Introduction:

The Federal Reserve and banking system are responsible for the creation of money in the economy. The first step of this money creation process starts when the Federal Reserve injects money in the economy by buying bonds. This money is stored in a bank. Then, the bank would keep the required reserves with themselves, and lent the remaining excess reserves. These excess reserves will then be stored with some other bank and the other bank would also keep the required reserve and make a loan for the remaining amount. These excess reserves keep flowing in the economy, thus, creating money at every stage. A bank’s balance sheet has the deposit account and capital account on the liabilities side, and cash reserves, required reserves, loans, and securities are on the asset side of the bank’s balance sheet that are affected by the money creation process.

D

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

The change in the money supply takes place when the excess reserves are lent out by the first bank. The formula to calculate the change in money supply is change in fresh reserves times the reciprocal of the reserve ratio. Thus, ΔM=Δfresh reserves×1r=$1,000×10.1=$10,000.

Explanation of Solution

If each of the banks plans to hold 5% excess reserves, then the money supply will reduce by 5%. Thus, the reserve ratio increases from 10% to 15%. With this effect, the change in money supply will be as follows:

  ΔM=Δfresh reserves×1r=$1,000×10.15=$6,666.67.
