If a bank has $100,000 in deposits and holds $5,000 in required reserves, what is the value of the money multiplier?

The reserve requirement, open market operations, and the money supply Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency, so the only form of money is checkable deposits. To simplify the analysis, suppose the banking system has total reserves of $500.   Determine the simple money multiplier and the money supply for each reserve requirement listed in the following table. Reserve Requirement Simple Money Multiplier Money Supply (Percent) (Dollars) 5           10             A lower reserve requirement is associated with a   ______(SMALLER/LARGER) money supply.   Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $200. Again, you can assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency. If the reserve requirement is 10%, the Fed will use open-market operations to  _____(BUY/SELL)$  ________   worth of U.S. government bonds.   Now, suppose that, rather than…

Assume that the banking system has total reserves of Rs.200 billion. Assume also that required reserves are 12.5 percent of checking deposits and that banks hold no excess reserves and households hold no currency.If the State Bank of Pakistan now raises required reserves to 20 percent of deposits, Calculate the money multiplier?  What will be the effect on Reserves?  (write only one word “Increase”, “Decrease”, or “No Change” ) The amount of money supply will decline to

Suppose the Federal Reserve’s trading desk buys $500,000 in T-bills from a securities dealer who then deposits the Fed’s check in Best National Bank. Use a balance sheet to show the impact on the bank’s loans. Consider the money multiplier and assume the required reserve ratio is 10 percent. What is the maximum increase in the money supply that can result from this open market transaction?

When the Fed wishes to decrease the money supply, it can   a. increase the required reserve ratio.   b. decrease the required reserve ratio.   c. ask people to buy more bonds.   d. turn additional funds over to the Treasury.
