Question
In the U.S., currency in circulation (C) is $1.2 trillion and the monetary base (B) is $3.7 trillion. Assume the reserve-deposit ratio (rr) and the currency-deposit ratio (cr) are both 0.25.
- What is the size of bank reserves (R)? What is the money multiplier? What is the money supply? What is the velocity of money if nominal
GDP is $17 trillion? - If the FOMC increases bank reserves (R) by $0.5 trillion and banks choose to hold all the additional reserves rather than loan them out, what is the new money supply? What is the new money supply if instead banks loan out 50% of the additional new reserves and households deposit all the additional loans?
- Assume that the velocity of money is constant and real GDP is growing at 1%. Use the numbers in part (a) to answer the next question. If the Fed wishes to keep the price level constant, how much (in dollars) do they need to increase the money supply?

- Consider an economy in which the money supply consists of both currency and deposits. The growth rate of the monetary base, the growth rate of the money supply, inflation, and expected inflation all are constant at 10% per year. Output and the real interest rate are constant. Monetary data for this economy as of January 1, 2016, are as follows: Currency held by nonbank public $200 Bank reserves $50 Monetary base $250 Deposits $600 Money supply $800 a. What is the nominal value of seignorage over the year? (Hint: How much monetary base is created during the year?) b. Suppose that deposits and bank reserves pay no interest, and that banks lend deposits not held as reserves at the market rate of interest. Who pays the inflation tax (measured in nominal terms), and how much do they pay? (Hint: The inflation tax paid by banks in this example is negative.) c. Suppose that deposits pay a market rate of interest. Who pays the inflation tax, and how much do they pay?arrow_forwardCurrency in Circulation (October 2020) 40.5 billion Nigerian currency Reserves (October 2020) 34.2 billion Nigeriancurrency M1 (October 2020) 2,465.9 billion Nigeriancurrency M2 (October 2020) 2,638.8 billion Nigeriancurrency Calculate the size of the actual money (M2) multiplier in October 2020. Round your answer to one decimal place. Nigeria's central bank, N. Bank, has not set a required reserve ratio (you can treat the required reserve ratio as 0%). Calcuate the excess reserve ratio for Norway in October 2020. Enter your answer in percent form without the percent sign. Round to one decimal place.arrow_forwardYou are given the following information: Bank deposits (D) 350 Currency-to-deposits ratio (c) 0.20 Required reserve ratio (rr) 0.15 Solve for the monetary base level (B) in this economy. Solve for the level of bank reserves (R) in this economy. Solve for the money supply level (M) in this economy. Suppose there is a sudden rise in the currency-to-deposits ratio, from the original level of 0.2 to a new level of 0.4. If everything else remains unchanged, find the level of monetary base needed to keep money supply fixed at the level you solved for in part c. Continue to consider c=0.4. Find the level of required reserve ratio needed to keep the monetary base and the money supply fixed at the level you solved or in parts a and c, respectively.arrow_forward
- With full explanationarrow_forwardProblems and aplicarion q7arrow_forwardA. MCQ Suppose the public holds 30% of their money as currency and the rest as deposits in their banks. Moreover, the central bank requires banks to maintain a reserve-deposit ratio of 15%. What will be the change in the total money supply if the central bank buys $10 million of government bonds from the public and pays for them by creating money (round to the nearest decimal point)? a. The money supply will decrease by $51.3 million b. The money supply will increase by $51.3 million c. The money supply will increase by $24.7 million d. The money supply will increase by $66.7 millionarrow_forward
- Suppose that a $100 purchase of government bonds by the U.S. Federal Reserve causes a $200 increase in the money supply in an economy in which banks hold 25 percent of deposits as reserves. What percentage of bank deposits is held as currency?arrow_forward_______ is the most liquid measure of money supplyarrow_forwardCurrently, the Fed does not have complete control of the money supply because the Congress and the Treasury can also make changes to the money supply. government bonds may not be available for purchase when the Fed wants to perform OMO. the Fed does not know where all the U.S. currency is located. the amount of money in the real economy depends on the behavior of depositors and bankers. All of the above are correct.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is the most accurate description of events when monetary authorities increase the size of commercial banks' excess reserves? Select one: a. The money supply is decreased, which increases the interest rate, and causes investment spending, output, and employment to decrease b. The money supply is increased, which decreases the interest rate, and causes investment spending, output, and employment to increase c. A rise in interest rates increases the money supply, causing a decrease in investment spending, output, and employment d. A fall in interest rates decreases the money supply, causing an increase in investment spending, output, and employmentarrow_forwardThe reserve requirement is 25%, and the banking system receives a new $1,000 deposit. The bank does not want to hold excess reserves and the public does not want to hold any currency. By how much will the Money Supply ultimately rise? $6000 $3000 $5000 $4000arrow_forwardWhat problems an economy may face without money supply?
