Answer to Problem 3NP

The reserve deposit ratio is 20% , the money multiplier is 2.33 and the money supply is 140 . Real output Y is 282 .

Explanation of Solution

Given data,

res=0.4-2r

Currency deposit ratio is 0.4

Price level fixed at 1.0

Monetary base is 60

Real quantity of money demanded is L(Y,i)=0.5Y-10i

If r = i = 0.10

Expected inflation is zero

Nominal interest rate and real interest rate is equal.

Substitute the values from given data in the formula, we get:

res=0.4-2r=0.4-2×0.10=0.2

And,

Formula used to calculate money multiplier is given below:

MoneyMultiplier=c+1c+res

Substitute the value of c = 0.4 and res = 0.2, in the formula, we get:

MoneyMultiplier = c+1 c+res

= 0.4+1 0.4+0.2

= 1.4 0.6

=2.33

Now, the calculation of money supply is as follows:

Money Supply =( c+1 c+res )× Base

=2.33×60

=140

And, calculation of real output will be done as follows:

Here,

Ms = 140

L(Y,i)=0.5Y-10i

r = i = 0.10

Now, substitute the above value to the equation,

Ms=L(Y,i)=0.5Y-10i140=0.5Y-10×0.10140=0.5Y-10.5Y=141Y=282

Thus, the money supplier will be 140 , and the real output will be 282 .

Answer to Problem 3NP

The reserve deposit ratio is 30% , the money multiplier is 2 , the money supply is 120 and Real output Y is 241 .

Explanation of Solution

The formula to calculate reserve deposit ratio is as under:

res=0.4-2r

Given data,

r = i = 0.05

Substitute value r = 0.5, we get

res=0.4-2r=0.4-2×0.05=0.4-0.10=0.3

And, Money multiplier is calculated using the following formula:

MoneyMultiplier=c+1c+res

Substitute the value of c = 0.4 and res = 0.3, as calculated above.

=0.4+10.4+0.3=1.40.7=2

Now, substitute the value of money multiplier i.e. 2, in the formula of money supply:

MoneySupply=(c+1c+res)×Base

=2×60=120

And,

The formula to Calculate the real output would be done as under:

Ms=L(Y,i)

given,

Ms = 120

i = 0.05

120=0.5Y-10×0.05120=0.5Y-0.50.5Y=120.5Y=241

Thus, the money supplier will be 120 , and the real output will be 241 .

To determine

To describe:

If r = i = 0.054 , the output Y that clears the asset market clear in the case if the reserve deposit ratio is fixed at the value found in part (a) and is not affected by interest rates.

c.

Answer to Problem 3NP

The asset market is clear in the case at output Y of 281 .

Explanation of Solution

In this case, the multiplier is unchanged from part a, which is at 2.33 , so the money supply is unchanged at 140 .

Given data,

M=140

i = 0.05

Substitute the above values in the equation:

MP=L  Gives,

1401=0.5Y-(10×0.05)140+0.5=0.5YY=281

d.

To determine

To examine:

Whether the impact on LM curve is flatter or steeper when the reserve deposit ratio depends on the real interest rate than when it is fixed.

d.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 3NP

If the reserve deposit ratio is unaffected by the real interest rate, the LM curve is steeper than when it is affected by the real interest rate.

Explanation of Solution

Supposing there is a reduction in the interest rates, it will lead to lowering of the reserves for the banks. This means, a high reserve ratio will lead to lowering of money multiplier and thereby reducing the nominal money supply. Therefore, the LM curve will be steeper when it is unaffected by the real interest rate more than that of when affected by the real interest rate.
