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?
Current Reserves = Deposits*Reserve Requirement
= 80 million*8% = $6.4 million
After change = 80 million*6% = 4.8 million
Hence, excess reserves = 6.4 million - 4.8 million = $1.6 million
Hence, excess reserves will increase by $1.6 million since reserve requirement has decreased and the Bank is maintaining same reserves

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...

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...
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.
Suppose that in a country the total holdings of banks were as follows: required reserves = $45 million excess reserves = $15 million deposits = $750 million loans = $600 million Treasury bonds = $90 million a. Show that the balance sheet balances if these are the only assets and liabilities. b. Assuming that people hold no currency, what happens to each of these values if the central bank changes the reserve requirement...
