Therefore,
Similarly,
The bank had reservesof
Calculation of required reserve:
Calculation of excess reserve:
The assets and liability of the bank should be equal. Therefore,
And
The bank had reservesof
Calculation of required reserve:
Calculation of excess reserve:
The assets and liability of the bank should be equal. Therefore,
Required reserve:
It refers to a certain amount of cash from the deposits that banks need to keep according to the guidelines of central bank.
Required reserve is calculated by,
Here, RR is required reserve, r is percentage of required reserve and D is the total amount in
deposits.
Excess reserve:
The holding of reserves in excess by the banks or financial institutions than what is required by the regulators, creditors or internal controls is termed as excess reserve or capital reserve.
Money multiplier:
It calculates the potential amount of money a bank generates with each dollar of reserves.
Where, R is required reserve.
(b)
To compute:
The additional dollar that can be lent out as a result of $40,000 deposit.
Answer to Problem 16P
The additional dollar that can be lent out as a result of $40,000 deposit if the bank faces the given required reserve ratio is shown in the table below:
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The bank has reserve of $30,000 with new demand deposit of $240,000.
The bank must keep demand deposit with Fed of 10%.
The reserves with bank are $30,000 and demand deposits are $240,000. The bank reserve ratio is 10%.
Calculation of required reserve:
Calculation of excess reserve:
The assets and liability of the bank should be equal. Therefore,
Therefore, bank can lend an amount of
Similarly,
The reserves with bank are $30,000 and demand deposits are $240,000. The bank reserve ratio is 15%.
Calculation of required reserve:
Calculation of excess reserve:-
The assets and liability of the bank should be equal. Therefore,
Therefore, bank can lend an amount of
And,
The reserves with bank are $30,000 and demand deposits are $240,000. The bank reserve ratio is 15%.

- 1. Suppose that the two nations face the following benefits of pollution, B, and costs of abatement, C: BN = 10, Bs = 7; CN = 5, Cs = 4. Further assume that if the nation chooses to abate pollution, it still receives the benefits of pollution but now must pay the cost of abatement as well. a. Identify the payoffs that accrue to each nation under the four different possible outcomes of the game and present these payoffs in the normal form of the game. b. Recall that the term dominant strategy defines the condition that a player in a game would prefer to play that strategy (in this case either pollute or abate) regardless of the strategy chosen by the other player in the game. Does either nation have a dominant strategy in this game? If so, what is it? c. Identify the Nash equilibria, or non-cooperative equilibria, of this game.arrow_forwardagrody calming Inted 001 and me 2. A homeowner is concerned about the various air pollutants (e.g., benzene and methane) released in her house when she cooks with natural gas. She is considering replacing her gas oven and stove with an electric stove comprising an induction cooktop and convection oven. The new appliance costs $900 to purchase and install. Capping the old gas line costs an additional $150 (a one-time fee). The old line must be inspected for leaks each year after capping, at a cost of $35 for each inspection. a. If the homeowner plans to remain in the house for four more years and the discount rate is 4%, what is the minimum present value of the benefits that the homeowner would need to experience for this purchase to be justified based on its private net sub present value? b. While trying to understand how she might express the value of reduced exposure to indoor air pollutants in dollar terms, the homeowner consulted the EPA website and found estimates provided by…arrow_forwardAfter the ban is imposed, Joe’s firm switches to the more expensive biodegradable disposable cups. This increases the cost associated with each cup of coffee it produces. Which cost curve(s) will be impacted by the use of the more expensive biodegradable disposable cups? Why? Which cost curve(s) will not shift, and why not? Please use the table below to answer this question. For the second column (“Impacted? If so, how?”), please use one of the following three choices: No shift; Shifts up (i.e., increases: at nearly any given quantity, the cost goes up); or Shifts down (i.e., decreases: at nearly any given quantity, the cost goes down). $ Cost Curve Impacted? If so, how? Explanation of the Shift: Why or Why Not AFC No shift. Fix costs stay the same, regardless of quantity. Fixed cost is calculated as Fixed Cost/Quantity. Since fixed costs remain unchanged, AFC stays the same for each quantity. MC Shifts up. Since the biodegradable cups are more expensive, the…arrow_forward
- Styrofoam is non-biodegradable and is not easily recyclable. Many cities and at least one state have enacted laws that ban the use of polystyrene containers. These locales understand that banning these containers will force many businesses to turn to other more expensive forms of packaging and cups, but argue the ban is environmentally important. Shane owns a firm with a conventional production function resulting in U-shaped ATC, AVC, and MC curves. Shane's business sells takeout food and drinks that are currently packaged in styrofoam containers and cups. Graph the short-run AFC0, AVC0, ATC0, and MC0 curves for Shane's firm before the ban on using styrofoam containers.arrow_forwardd-farrow_forwarda-c pleasearrow_forward

What is the net benefit to society of moving from the unregulated emissions level to the efficient level? In response to industry complaints about the costs of the tax, a cap-and-trade program is proposed. The marginal abatement cost curves for the two firms are given by: MAC=24-E and MAC2 = 24-2E2. d.

When appropriate, the use of graphs will make for stronger answers. Credit will depend entirely on the quality of your explanation. 1. If the industry facing regulation for its pollutant emissions has a lot of political capital, direct regulatory intervention will be more viable than an emissions tax to address this market failure. 2. A stated-preference method will provide a measure of the value of Komodo dragons that is more accurate than the value estimated through application of the travel cost model to visitation data for Komodo National Park in Indonesia. 3.
