Suppose the banking system currently has $400 billion in reserves, the reserve requirement is 8 percent, and excess reserves amount to $5 billion. What is the level of deposits? |

Solution: $4,937.5 billion
Working:
Minimum Required Reserves = Current Reserves – Excess Reserves
Minimum Required Reserves = 400 – 5 = $395
R = (Min Required Reserves) / (Total Deposits)
Total Deposits = 395 / 0.08 = $4937.5

1a) Suppose the banking system currently has $300 billion in reserves, the reserve requirement is 5 percent, and excess reserves are $30 billion. What is the level of loans? $5,400 billion $5,100 billion $270 billion b) When the Fed purchases $1000 worth of government bonds from the public, the US money supply eventually increases by less than $1000 exactly $1000 none of these are correct more than $1000 $6,000 billion c) If the aggregate demand curve shifts left, then in...
The banking system currently has $50 billion of reserves, none of which are excess. People hold only deposits and no currency, and the reserve requirement is 10percent. If the Fed raises the reserve requirement to 12.5 percent and at the same time sells $10 billion worth of bonds, then by how much does the money supplychange?
Suppose a banking system with the following balance sheet has no excess reserves.

Assume that the banking system initially has total reserves of €500 billion, while the reserve requirement is equal to 50%. Assume also that banks hold no excess reserves and households hold no currency. What would happen with total reserves and the total amount of money in the economy if the reserve requirement would decrease to 25%? A) The amount of money would increase by 50%, while the amount of reserves would remain the same. B) The amount of money would...
