A

To determine

The initial effects on bank assets, liabilities, and reserves and assuming a required reserve ratio of 0.05 when Fed purchases $10 million worth of U.S. government bonds from a bank.

Concept 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.

agree or disagree with the post  Hi Class! Egyptian dates are much sweeter! Due largely to their climate and geography, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Iran produce more dates than either the US or Canada. Dates grow best in hot dry climates with long dry growing seasons, which these nations naturally offer. They also produce a lot of dates because of their extensive agricultural, infrastructure, and centuries-old date-growing expertise. Conversely, the U.S., there aren't many places in Canada and California that are suitable for date farming, only a select few, like the Coachella Valley, in California can produce dates on a large scale. Although California produces some dates, it is not as much as countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Depending only on U.S., because of increased labor and production costs, dates grown in this way may have a limited supply and raise prices. We can obtain a greater supply of dates at competitive prices while maintaining consistent quality by…
