Suppose a bank has $160,000 in deposits and a required reserve ratio of 10 percent. Then required reserves are
$16,000 = $160,000 x .10
If excess reserves are $10,000, demand deposits are $100,000, and the required reserve ratio is 10 percent, then total reserves are
$20,000
Required Reserves
(bank deposits) x (required reserve ratio)

If a PlayStation 3 costs 20,000 yen in Japan, how much will it cost in U.S. dollars if the exchange rate is
110 yen = $1? ----20,000/110 = $181.82 (b) 1 yen = $0.009? 20,000 x .009 = $180 (c) 100 yen = $1?------ 20,000/ 100 = $200
If a euro is worth $1.20, what is the euro price of a dollar

How would rapid inflation in Canada affect U.S. tourism travel to Canada? Does it make any difference whether the exchange rate between Canadian and U.S. dollars is fixed or flexible
Our demand for Canadian imports (including tourism) changes with rapid inflation in Canada. The magnitude of change is determined by the exchange rate mechanism that prevails. If the exchange rate were fixed, the impact of inflation would be to reduce our consumption of Canadian products due to their increasing prices. With flexible exchange rates, our demand would likely remain constant depending on how quickly the exchange rate adjusted to the price changes.
When cash or coins are initially deposited into a bank,
The composition of the money supply changes, but the size of the money supply does not change.
How would each of these events affect the supply or demand for Japanese yen? (d) A Japanese tsunami.

How do changes in the value of the U.S. dollar affect foreign enrollments at U.S. colleges?
As the US dollar appreciates, it takes more of the foreign currency to purchase US dollars. This effectively increases the price of a US education, and quantity demanded of education at US colleges by foreign students declines. Should the US Dollar depreciate, the effective price of a US education declines, and potentially more foreign students enroll at US colleges
Why would a decline in the value of the dollar prompt foreign manufacturers such as BMW to build production plants in the United States?
BMW can produce cars at a lower cost in the US when the dollar falls in value. From BMW's point of view,it can purchase materials at lower dollar costs and sell the cars in Germany at the higher euro value. The gap between euro-dominated revenues and dollar-dominated costs widens, which means profit grows
