- The Fed (US central bank) has reduced the required reserve ratio (RR) to zero percent effective on March 26, 2020. Do you think the real-world money supply multiplier would become infinity? Why or why not? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardChallenge Problem. The chapter mentions that an open market operation by the Fed can increase or decrease the quantity of deposits in banks and therefore the money supply. The change in the money supply from a Fed open market operation is given by the following equation: Change in money supply = Change in reserves x1/ (RR+ ER) where RR = the percentage of deposits that banks are required to keep as reserves ER = the percentage of deposits that banks voluntarily hold as excess reserves 1/ (RR+ ER) = the "money multiplier" Suppose the Fed decides to sell $16 billion in Treasury bonds. Assume that the reserve requirement is 10 percent, banks hold 3 percent in excess reserves, and the public holds no cash. This action by the Fed causes the money supply to by S billion. (Round your response to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardIn 2019, a Federal reserve publications stated: " The federal reserve can no longer effectively influence the FFR by small changes in the supply of reserves." Is this statement true? 1. No, since the 2007-2009 financial crises, the Fed has fixed the FFR to match the level of reserves held in the banking system. 2. Yes, since the 2007-2009 financial crises, banks have held substantial excess reserves so small changes in reserves by the Fed do not significantly influence the FFR 3. No, the FFR always reacts to the level of reserves, so any changes in reserves by the Fed will impact the FFR 4. Yes, since the 2007-2009 financial crises, banks have stopped holding excess reserves altogether so small changes in reserves have no impact on the FFRarrow_forward
