Assume that the following conditions exist:
a. All banks are fully loaned up- there are no excess reserves, and desired excess reserves are always zero.
b. The money multiplier is 4 .
c. The planned investment schedule is such that at a 4 percent rate of interest, Investment =$1520 billion. At 5 percent, investment is $1510 billion.
d. The investment multiplier is 5 .
e. The initial equilibrium level of real GDP is $14 trillion.
f. The equilibrium rate of interest is 4 percent
Now the Fed engages in contractionary monetary policy. It sells $2 billion worth of bonds, which reduces the money supply, which in turn raises the market rate of interest by 1 percentage point.
Calculate the decrease in money supply after FED's sale of bonds: $ ????? Billion
Answer - Money multiplier = 4
Sale of bonds = $ 2 billion
Total decrease in money supply = $ 2 billion * 4
= $ 8 billion

Assume that the banking system has total reserves of $200 billion. Assume also that required reserves are 12.5 percent of checking deposits and that banks hold no excess reserves and households hold no currency. The money multiplier is ____. The money supply is ____ billion. Suppose the Fed raises required reserves to 16 percent of deposits. The new money multiplier is____, and the money supply Increases/Decreases to _____ billion.
Assume that the banking system is loaned up and that any open-market purchase by the Fed directly increases reserves in the banks. If the required reserve ratio is 0.2, by how much could the money supply expand if the Fed purchased $2 billion worth of bonds?
Please show all work for part C The Money Multiplier. For this question e denotes the ratio of currency to deposits, p denotes the ratio of required reserves to deposits, and e denotes the ratio of excess reserves to deposits S (a) (3 points) Express the money multiplier m in terms of c, p, and e (b) (4 points) Suppose that: = 0.5 (1) C (2) 0.1 = (3) 0.02 e = Find the value of the money multiplier m....
4. 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 $500. Determine the money multiplier and the money supply for each reserve requirement listed in the following table. Reserve Requirement (Percent) Money Supply (Dollars) Simple Money Multiplier 10 A lower reserve requirement is associated...

Let’s say the Federal Reserve buys $20 Billion in bonds from private banks: *Total reserve requirement = 0.10 x $1Trillion = $100 Billion What is the total amount (in $) of reserves that banks can lend? Using the simple deposit multiplier, how much additional money (M1) is created by this process? What will happen to the Federal Funds Rate, the prime rate, and other nominal interest rates in the economy? (Go up, down, stay the same?) Why? If the price...
