Banks acquire $50 billion in new reserves, and the reserve requirement ratio is 6%. What will be the impact on the total deposits in the system, assuming all excess reserves are loaned to borrowers and the public redeposits all the borrowed funds in the banking system?
The initial condition of the banking system is as follows: $500 billion in reserve, $4,500 billion in loans and investments, and 5,000 billion in deposits. The required reserve is 10%. The Fed buys $100 billion government securities using open market operation, and lowers the reserve requirement to 5%. The banking system converts 85% excess reserves to loans, but borrowers return only 65% of these funds to the banking system as deposits. What is the maximum amount of loans in the banking system as a result of such Fed operation?
The table shows the commercial banks' balance
sheet (aggregated over all the banks). The
commercial banks' desired reserve ratio on all
deposits is 10 percent and there is no currency
drain.
Calculate the bank's excess reserves.
>>> Answer to 2 decimal places.
The banks' excess reserves are $11 million.
If the banks use all of these excess reserves to
make loans, what is the quantity of loans?
The quantity of loans will be $11 million.
If the banks use all of the excess reserves to
make loans, what is the quantity of total deposits
immediately after the banks have made
the loans?
The quantity of total deposits immediately after
the banks have made the loans is $ ☐ million.

- The Bank of Canada sets the reserve requirement, which banks must meet through deposits at the Bank of Canada and cash held at the bank. What do these requirements achieve? Check all that apply. They help to facilitate transfers of funds between banks when a customer from one bank writes a cheque to a customer of another. They help to control the money supply. They help to prevent bank runs by reassuring the public that banks will not make too many loans and run out of cash. They mean that a bank must have one dollar of deposits for every dollar it lends.arrow_forwardGive one policy that can complement the reserve requirement in expanding credit in the banking industry considering the peculiarities of rural and savings banks.arrow_forwardA commercial bank has actual reserves of $29,000 and checkable-deposit liabilities of $35,000, and the required reserve ratio is 0.05.

- Below is a short version of the balance sheet at Wells Fargo. Assume this bank has a 15% reserve requirement. Wells Fargo Assets Liabilities Total Reserves $250,000 Deposits $100,000 1. What is the maximum this bank can lend out? $ 2. Mr. Smithers decides to withdraw $25,000 from his checking account here after which the bank will now make $45,000 in loans and purchase $14,000 in securities from the Fed. After all these transactions take place, answer the following questions. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number). a. The bank now has Total Reserves in the amount of $☐ b. The bank now has Required Reserves in the amount of $ c. The bank now has Excess Reserves in the amount of $ d. The bank is now limited to making additional loans up to the amount of $ e. The value of the simple money multiplier is (round to just 1 decimal) f. Should this bank lend its entire remaining reserves, the banking system can see an increase in the money supply of $arrow_forwardSuppose you win on a scratch-off lottery ticket and you decide to put all of your $3,500 winnings in the bank. The reserve requirement is 5%. How much maximum of new money will be created (maximum amount of new checking deposits created by the banking system) as a result of your bank deposit? Hint: do not count your initial deposit as part of increase. Number $70000 ☐ ☐ Incorrect. The bank can only loan out excess reserves. Calculate the excess reserves after the lottery winnings were deposited, than multiple that number by the money multiplier. Which events could cause the increase in the money supply to be less than its potential? Check all that apply. Some loan recipients choose to hold some cash instead of depositing all of it in banks. All money loaned out is deposited back into the banking system. Banks decide to keep some excess reserves on hand. Banks choose to loan out all excess reserves.arrow_forwardSuppose that you are in an economy with reserve requirements are equal to 11%, and cash drain is equal to 3%. One bank in this economy now recieves an addition $300 of new deposits. What is the total quantity of new bank desposits that this will generate across the entire banking system (in dollars)?
