Suppose that your bank's reserve ratio is 0.2 and you deposit $50,000 into the bank. Assume that the bank loans out the maximum amount it can, and people deposit all their money. What is the deposit multiplier? What is the total increase in deposits in the banking system? What is the change in the money supply?

If the Bank of Canada performs an Open-Market-Sale with a member of the public, what is the effect on the banking system and the money supply? The banking system has fewer reserves, and the money supply tends to grow. The banking system has more reserves, and the money supply tends to fall. The banking system has more reserves, and the money supply tends to grow. The banking system has fewer reserves, and the money supply tends to fall.

Find the amount of money that would be created in the banking system because of the money multiplier if the required reserve ratio is 14%, and a bank that had been holding $1,000 as excess reserves decides to loan all this money out.

For a financial system, the reserve ratio is 10% and the Fed decides to buy $5 million worth of bonds from the public. If the public deposits this amount into transactions accounts, what happens to the money supply initially and directly? What is the potential change in lending capacity (money creation) for the banking system?
