Using the above table, if the reserve ratio for the banking system is 10 percent, the excess reserves are $______. Only enter the
Required reserves = Checkable deposits * reserve ratio Required reserves = ($2,100,000 * 0.10)=$210,000 Excess reserves = (Total) Reserves - Required Reserves Excess reserves = ($350,000(og) - $210,000)=$210,000

Using the above table, if the reserve ratio for the banking system is 10 percent, and the Federal Reserve is trying to close a recessionary gap by using open market operations of $60,000. As a result, the money supply for the banking system would decreaseby $ 6,000 .
To close a recessionary gap the Fed would increase the money supply by buying bonds. The change in the money supply for the banking system = open market operations * money multiplier. The change in the money supply for the banking system = $600,000 ($60,000 * 10 (1/0.10))
Using the above table, if the reserve ratio for the banking system is 10 percent, and a $100,000 check is written and clears against this bank, the bank change the money supply by $_______.
When a check is written and clears a bank (withdraw), Checkable deposits and (total) Reserves fall buy the amount of the check ($100,000). Required reserves = Checkable deposits * reserve ratio As a result, Required reserves = ((new cp)$2,000,000 * 0.10)= 200,000 Excess reserves = (Total) Reserves - Required Reserves Excess reserves = ((new of reserves)$250,000 - $200,000) =$50,000

Suppose the actual real GDP is $15 trillion and potential real GDP is $16 trillion. The Federal Reserve engages in monetary policy to solve this problem. The impact of this monetary policy will be to [ Select ] ["decrease", "increase"] the [ Select ] ["short-run aggregate supply", "long-run aggregate supply", "aggregate demand"] curve. This causes the price level to [ Select ] ["decrease", "increase"] and real GDP to [ Select ] ["decrease", "increase"] .

If actual real GDP is greater than potential real GDP. The Federal Reserve wants to bring the economy to a full employment level. The Fed should
increase the discount rate.
Even when people know the purchasing power of the currency is declining, they continue to use the currency because
its value is still predictable
An increase in the U.S. federal budget deficit will most likely
lead to an inflow of funds to the United States and an appreciation of the dollar.
If the interest rate increases, then there is a movement up along the money demand curve.

Suppose that the federal government had a budget deficit of $80 billion in year 1 and $90 billion in year 2, but that it experiences budget surpluses of $40 billion in year 3 and $20 billion in year 4. Also assume that the government uses any budget surpluses to pay down the public debt. At the end of these four years, the Federal government's public debt would have [ Select ] ["decreased", "increased"] by $ [ Select ] ["230", "20", "110", "170"] billion.

If a check written on one bank is deposited in another bank, then the money supply remains unchanged .

Suppose that each 0.1-percentage-point increase in the equilibrium interest rate induces a $4 billion decrease in real planned investment spending by businesses. In addition, the investment multiplier is equal to 3, and the money multiplier is equal to 4. Furthermore, every $10 billion decrease in the money supply brings about a 0.1-percentage-point increase in the equilibrium interest rate. Use this information to answer the following questions under the assumption that all other things are equal. If actual GDP is $500 billion and potential GDP is $440 billion, then the Fed should sell $ 12.5 billion in bonds.
sell 12.5 To close a $60 billion inflationary gap, then the Fed should sell bonds. Since the size of the gap is $60 billion, autonomous Investment spending (I) should change by $20 billion ($60 billion/3). Since Investment spending (I) should change by $20 billion, then the equilibrium interest rate should change by 0.5% (a 0.1% change in the equilibrium interest rate changes Investment spending by $4billion). Since the equilibrium interest rate should change by 0.5%, then the money supply should change by $50 billion (a $10 billion change in the money supply changes the equilibrium interest rate by 0.1%). Since the money supply should change by $50 billion, then the Fed should buy/sell bonds by $20 billion ($50 billion/4).

Discount rate
the interest rate the Fed charges on discount loans
If proceeds from loans are NOT deposited back in the banking system, then
there is no effect on the magnitude of the multiplier process. Correct! the magnitude of the multiplier process is reduced. the magnitude of the multiplier process is increased. the Fed intervenes by selling more Federal government bonds.
When foreign residents buy U.S. Treasury securities to finance the budget deficit,
we can also anticipate an increase in the trade deficit.
