An increase in required-reserve ratio by the Federal Reserve would:
cause M1 to contract (the supply of money would decrease).
cause M1 to expand (the supply of money would increase).
have no effect on M1

A treasury manager would like to develop a funds concentration policy for her staff to use to determine when to transfer funds using a wire transfer or an ACH transfer. The pertinent information appears below.
Each wire costs $25
Each ACH transfer costs $0.75
Opportunity cost of funds is 5%
Earnings credit rate is 1%
Reserve requirement ratio is 10%
For a mid-week transfer, what is the minimum transfer balance that justifies a wire transfer?
For transfers made on Friday, what is the minimum transfer balance that justifies a wire transfer?

- Suppose First Main Street Bank, Second Republic Bank, and Third Fidelity Bank all have zero excess reserves. The required reserve ratio is 25%. The Federal Reserve buys a government bond worth $1,800,000 from Felix, a customer of First Main Street Bank. He deposits the money into his checking account at First Main Street Bank. Now, suppose First Main Street Bank loans out all of its new excess reserves to Deborah, who immediately writes a check for the full amount to Carlos. Carlos then immediately deposits the funds in his checking account at Second Republic Bank. Then Second Republic Bank lends out all of its new excess reserves to Larry, who writes a check to Janet, who deposits the money in her account at Third Fidelity Bank. Finally, Third Fidelity lends out all of its new excess reserves to Megan. Assume this process continues, with each successive loan deposited into a checking account and no banks keeping any excess reserves. Under these assumptions, the $1,800,000 injection…arrow_forwardSuppose Southeast Mutual Bank, Walls Fergo Bank, and PJMorton Bank all have zero excess reserves.

If excess reserves in the Canadian chartered banking system are $4,000, demand deposits are $40,000, and the desired reserve ratio is 10 percent, then actual cash reserves: Multiple Choice are $8,000. are $4,000. are $6,000. cannot be determined from this information. are $10,000.arrow_forward

- International Gold Standard (19th century): If different countries fix the price of their currencies e in terms of gold this immediately implies that e are fixed. If the Central Bank of two countries stand ready to buy and sell gold at a fixed price in terms of their respective domestic currencies, then there is only one value of e that eliminates the possibility of arbitrage. Suppose that S100 buys 1 ounce of gold and 100 pounds buys lounce of gold. Under fixed exchange rates, this implies that IS buys Ipound.

(This was the case in the U.S. prior to 2008.) Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency, so the only form of money is demand deposits. To simplify the analysis, suppose the banking system has total reserves of $300. Determine the money multiplier and the money supply for each reserve requirement listed in the following table. Reserve Requirement Money Supply (Percent) Simple Money Multiplier (Dollars) 20 6,000 10 10 3,000 A higher reserve requirement is associated with a smaller money supply. Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $200. Again, you can assume that banks do not hold excess reserves and that households do not hold currency. If the reserve requirement is 10%, the Fed will use open-market operations to buy worth of U.S. government bonds. Now, suppose that, rather than immediately lending out all…arrow_forward
