b) If the bank maintains a reserve ratio of 10%, how will it respond to the new deposit?
c) if every time the bank makes a loan, the loan results in a new checkable bank deposit in a different bank equal to the amount of the loan, by how much could the total money supply in the economy expand in response to Tracy´s initial cash deposit of $500?
