The demand for loanable funds decreases while the supply simultaneously increases. This would cause the equilibrium 1)quantity of loanable funds to increase, but the effect on the equilibrium interest rate would be uncertain. 2)interest rate to decrease, but the new equilibrium quantity would be uncertain. 3)quantity of loanable funds to increase and the equilibrium interest rate to decrease. 4)quantity of loanable funds to decrease and the equilibrium interest rate to increase. 5)interest rate to increase, but the new equilibrium quantity...
8. The reserve requirement, open market operations, and the moneysupply 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...
