Explain what would happen if banks were notified they had to increase their required reserves by one percentage point from, say, 9 to 10 of deposits. What would their options be to come up with the cash?
How can a bank end up with negative net worth?
Suppose the Fed conducts an open market sale by selling $10 million in Treasury bonds to Acme Bank. Sketch out the balance sheet changes that will occur as Acme restores its required reserves (10% of deposits) by reducing its loans. The initial balance sheet for Acme Bank contains the following information: Assets - reserves 30, bonds 50, and loans 250; Liabilities - deposits 300 and equity 30.
B3-4 ALL QUESTIONS GO WITH GRAPH 1. What would be the level of excess reserves if the required reserve ratio were 20%? a) There would be a shortfall in required reserves of $100,000 b) 0 c) $300,000 d) $900,000 e) $1,000,000 2. If the reserve required ratio is 10%, how much can this bank lend? a) $900,000 b) $1,000,000 c) $1,300,000 d) $500,000 e) $400,000 3. Assume: a required reserve ratio of 10%, this bank is the only one with excess reserves, banks do not wish to hold excess reserves and the public does not wish to increase its cash holdings. What is the maximum amount of new money the banking system can create? a) $900,000 b) $500,000 c) $400,000 d) $4,000,000 e) $5,000,000

2. Suppose that in 2018 customers deposit $4,000 into their bank accounts. Based on the extended money multiplier calculated in part (1), calculate the total amount which the money supply in the banking system will eventually increase to. Show all steps involved in the calculation. part 1 answer DRR = Ratio (4% or 0.04) CDR = % of money in wallets (3% or 0.03) = (1 + 0.03) / (0.04 + 0.03) = 1.03 / 0.07 Answer = 14.71 Therefor Every $1 in the bank will allow the bank to create $14.71
9. How would you incorporate security considerations/costs into the transactions demand model? What would this imply for the demand for currency in a relatively insecure urban environment (a) compared with a relatively safe one, (b) when owner-identiﬁed smart cards become available? Do these factors affect the demand for demand deposits? How would the proportion of currency to demand deposits be affected in these cases? 10. Can the transactions demand model be used to explain why ﬁnancial innovations in recent decades have reduced the transactions demand for M1? 11. Are transactions demand models useless, as Sprenkle (1969) argued? If they are, how would you explain the demand for M1 or just for demand deposits in the economy?
1. Suppose that a bank’s customer deposits $20,000 in her checking account. The required reserve ratio is 0.125. What are the required reserves on the new deposit? What is the largest loan that the bank can make on the basis of the new deposit? What is the maximum the banking system can increase demand deposits as a result of this deposit? -------------
17. Suppose the Canadian banking system jointly has $40 million in reserves, all banks have a target reserve ratio of 8%, there are no excess reserves, and there is no cash drain. What is the amount of deposits in the banking system? A) $3.2 million $36.8 million $40.8 million C) D) $54 million E) $500 million
18. Refer to Table 13.2. The required reserve ratio is 20%. If the First Charter Bank ismeeting its reserve requirement and has no excess reserves, its loans equal:a) $710b) $460c) $550d) $760
6. One of the banking innovations in the 1960s was the payment of interest on certain types of demand deposits. Assume that interest is paid on money at the nominal rate Rm, which equals (R − x), where x is the nominal return on bonds, which is exogenously determined by market structures and the cost of servicing deposits. (i) Use Baumol’s transactions demand model to derive the demand function for money. (ii) Generalizing the above demand function to md(y, R, x), shows the behavior of the LM curve for shifts in x and P. (iii) What is the effect of an increase in x on aggregate demand, output and price level in the neoclassical model? (iv) Assuming that both R and x always increase by the expected rate of inﬂation, do (ii) and (iii) again.
5. 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 5%. Musashi, a Southeast Mutual Bank customer, deposits $200,000 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 Complete the following table to show the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves when the required reserve ratio is 5%. Hint: If the change is negative, be sure to enter the value as negative number. Amount Deposited Change in Excess Reserves (Dollars) (Dollars) 200,000 Change in Required Reserves (Dollars) Now, suppose Southeast Mutual Bank loans out all of its new excess reserves to Kyoko, who immediately uses the funds to write a check to Jacques. Jacques deposits the funds immediately into his checking account at Walls Fergo Bank. Then…
