Question
Question 2
If reserves increase, banks have the ability to make more loans, which as we have
seen would increase the money supply. Suppose the Fed uses open market
operations to add $1 million in reserves to the banking system, and all banks keep a
ratio of reserves to deposits of 20%. Then according to the money multiplier formula,
by how much will the money supply ultimately increase? (Answer in millions, to the
nearest .1 million if your answer is not an integer.)
Your Answer:
Answer
D View hint for Question 2
Question 3 (.
Chapter 11 mentions that in the past the Fed did not pay interest on accounts that
banks kept with it, but that since 2008 it has paid interest on these accounts. Does
the Fed paying interest have any effect on the ratio of reserves to deposits that
banks choose to hold? Does it increase the reserve ratio, decrease it, or have no
effect on it? Explain briefly. (Graded for participation only.)
