Required Reserve Ratio = 10%
Excess Reserve Ratio = 10%
Total Reserve Ratio = 10% + 10% = 20%
Simple money multiplier = (1 / total reserve ratio) * 100
= (1 / 0.2) * 100
= 5
Total increase in Checkable Deposits = $1 million * 5 = $5 million

1) Suppose the Fed's required reserve ratio (REQ) is 20%. Further suppose that the Fed buys $100 million of U.S. Treasury securities from a dealer, Mary Jones, who deposits the check, which is drawn on the Fed, in her bank. This deposit increases her bank's reserve account (∆R) with the Fed by $100 million as well as its demand deposits, its total reserves, and the overall level of M1. What is the money multiplier?1) Suppose the Fed's required reserve ratio...

O the amount of reserves held by Bank A will decrease by $15 million. O the amount of bonds held by Bank A will decrease by $ 15 million. O the amount of deposits held by Bank A will decrease by $15 million. O the amount of reserves held by Bank A...

The Third National Bank has reserves of $20,000 and checkable deposits of $100,000. The reserve ratio is 20 percent. Using balance sheet A, how would this look. How much excess reserves currently exist for the bank? Households deposit $5000 in currency into the bank that is added to reserves. (Show this addition on the balance sheet A. What level of excess reserves does the bank now have? Assuming the excess reserves become loans, what would this look like on the...
If the Fed reduces reserves by selling $5 million worth of bonds to the banks, what will the T- account of the banking system look like when the banking system is in equilibrium? What will have happened to the level of checkable deposits? Assume that the required reserve ratio is 10%
