The money creation process Suppose Southeast Mutual Bank, Walls Fergo Bank, and PJMorton Bank all have zero excess reserves. The required reserve ratio is presently set at 20%. Alex, a Southeast Mutual Bank customer, deposits $750,000 into his checking account at the local branch. Complete the following table to reflect any changes in Southeast Mutual Bank's T-account (before the bank makes any new loans). Assets Liabilities Reserves v $750,000 V' Deposits v $750,000 Points: s 1/ 1 Explanation: Close Explanation When Alex deposits the $750,000 into Southeast Mutual Bank, it creates both an asset and a liability for the bank. On the asset side of the T-account, the $750,000 increases the bank's reserves. The bank can use some of these additional reserves to make loans to other people. On the liability side of the T-account, the $750,000 is recorded as a demand deposit, because Alex could demand his deposit back at any time by coming into the bank and asking for it, by writing a check, or by using a debit card. Assets Liabilities Reserves $750,000 Deposits $750,000 Complete the following table to show the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves when the required reserve ratio is 20%. Hint: If the change is negative, be sure to enter the value as negative number. Amount Deposited Change in Excess Reserves Change in Required Reserves (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) 750,000 o0 |x |0 x Points: 0/1 Explanation: Close Explanation Because the required reserve ratio is 20%, Southeast Mutual Bank is required to hold 20% of its fresh reserves (that is, the initial deposit). Since 20% of $750,000 is $150,000, this means that Southeast Mutual Bank's required reserve has increased by $150,000. The remaining 80% of the fresh reserves, or $600,000, is excess reserves and can be used to make loans. Now, suppose Southeast Mutual Bank loans out all of its new excess reserves to Susan, who immediately uses the funds to write a check to Raphael. Raphael deposits the funds immediately into his checking account at Walls Fergo Bank. Then Walls Fergo Bank lends out all of its new excess reserves https://ng.cengage.com/static/nb/ui/evo/index.html?deploymentld=6099182456087469109046107188&elSBN=9780357723005&id=2058047988&sna... 1/3
4/14/24, 2:29 PM MindTap - Cengage Learning to Clancy, who writes a check to Becky, who deposits the money into her account at PJMorton Bank. PJMorton lends out all of its new excess reserves to Eileen in turn. Fill in the following table to show the effect of this ongoing chain of events at each bank. Enter each answer to the nearest dollar. Increase in Deposits Increase in Required Reserves Increase in Loans (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) Southeast Mutual Bank | X | 150,000 |V | 750,000 |X Walls Fergo | 750,000 |X | [x [ 750,000 |x Bank PIMorton Bank | X | [x [ 750,000 |x - Points: 8 0.11/1 Explanation: Close Explanation You already found that of the $750,000 initial deposit, 20% (or $150,000) had to be held as required reserves and the remaining 80% (or $600,000) could be loaned out. If you follow that $600,000 loan, you can see that when it is deposited into Walls Fergo Bank, 20% of that $600,000 must be held as required reserves by Walls Fergo Bank and the remaining 80% can be loaned out: Increase in Walls Fergo Bank's Required Reserves Increase in Walls Fergo Bank's Required Resetves = 0.20 % $600,000 0.20 x $600,000 = = $120,000$120,000 Increase in Walls Fergo Bank's Excess Reserves Increase in Walls Fergo Bank's Excess Reserves = = (.80 % $600,000 0.80 x $600,000 = = $480,000$480,000 Now, those $480,000 of excess reserves can be loaned out. When they are loaned and then deposited into PJMorton Bank, PJMorton Bank's required and excess reserves increase in the same way: Increase in PJMorton Bank's Required Reserves Increase in PJMorton Bank's Required Reserves= = (.20 x $480,000 0.20 x $480,000 = = $96,000$96,000 Increase in PJMorton Bank's Excess Reserves Increase in PJMorton Bank's Excess Reserves = = 0.80 x $480,000 0.80 x $480,000 = $384,000$384,000 Assume this process continues, with each successive loan deposited into a checking account and no banks keeping any excess reserves. Under these assumptions, the $750,000 injection into the money supply results in an overall increase of $3,000,000 X in demand deposits.
