The level of bank deposits is $9,681 and the banks hold $1,046 in required reserves and 765 in excess reserves. If the Fed introduces $100 worth of new reserves worth of new reserves in the economy by how much will the money supply increase.
Required reserves ratio= 1046/9681= 0.108
Excess reserves ratio = 765/9681= 0.079
Money multiplier = 1/(0.108+0.079)= 5.3476
Increase in money supply = 100/5.347= 534.76

The Federal Reserve specifies a percentage of checkable deposits that banks hold must hold as reserves (required reserves), which is called the required reserve ratio. Excess reserves are reserves that banks hold over and above the required reserves and can make loans. Suppose that Bank A has an increase in checkable deposits of $100 million and the required reserve is 10%. How much money can Bank A create by making loans? How much money can the banking system as a...
Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency, so the only form of money is demand deposits. To simplify the analysis, suppose the banking system has total reserves of $400. Determine the money multiplier and the money supply for each reserve requirement listed in the following table. A higher reserve requirement is associated with a _______ money supply. Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $200. Again, you can assume that...

total deposits held by commercial banks is $80 million and banks hold no excess reserves. How much excess reserves increase/decreases if the Fed changes reserve requirements from 8% to 6% and the total deposits held by commercial banks stays the same? Why?

If the public decides to hold less currency and more deposits in banks, bank reserves a) increase and the money supply eventually increases. b) increase but the money supply does not change. c) decrease but the money supply does not change. d) decrease and the money supply eventually decreases.
