At one time, the country of Sylvania had no banks, but had currency of $10 million. Then a banking system was established with a reserve requirement of 20 percent. The people of Sylvania now keep half their money in the form of currency and half in the form of bank deposits. If banks do not hold excess reserves, how much currency do the people of Sylvania now hold?
a. |
$2 million |
|
b. |
$5 million |
|
c. |
$9 million |
|
d. |
$12 million
|
|
Option C. $9 million
Explanation: The currency not deposited by people in bank = 50% of 10 million = $5 million
The remaining $5 million was deposited din the bank. Out of this $5 million deposit, the bank keeps 20% of it i.e. 20% of 5 million = 1 million as reserve.
So, the bank loans out the remaining $4 million to people.
So, total currency hold by people = $4 million + $5 million = $4 million.

Question 9 (1 point) At one time, the country of Aquilonia had no banks, but had currency of $10 million. Then a banking system was established with a reserve requirement of 10 percent. The people of Aquilonia deposited half of their currency into the banking system. If banks do not hold excess reserves, what is Aquilonia's money supply now? $55 million $10 million $50 million $11 million Question 10 (1 point) Suppose the reserve ratio is 25 percent and the...
Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves. Banking system has $50 million in reserves and a reserve requirement of 10%. Public holds 20 million in currency . Then the public decides to withdraw $5 million in currency from the banking system. If the banking system wants to keep money supply stable by changing the reserve requirement. What will the new reserve requirement be? A)8.1% B)9.1% C)9.7% D) 10%
3) In a country A, the monetary base is $1,000. People hold one third of their money in the form of currency and thus two-thirds as bank deposits. Banks hold a third of their deposits in reserve. (a) What are the reserve-deposit ratio (rr), currency-deposit ratio (cr), money supply (M), and the money multiplier (m)? (b) One day, fear about the banking system strikes the population, and people now want to hold half of their money in the form of...
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 $400. Determine the money multiplier and the money supply for each reserve requirement listed in the following table. A higher reserve requirement is associated with a _______ money supply. Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by $200. Again, you can assume that...
