inverse

$900

What will happen to the demand and supply for loanable funds if there is political instability?

Money Multiplier Equation

1 / Reserve Requirement (Ratio)

how can the fed decrease the reserve ratio

1. Banks hold less money and have more excess reserves. 2. Banks create more money by loaning out excess. 3. Money supply increases, interest rates fall, AD up.

How can the fed increase the reserve ratio

1. Banks hold more money and have fewer excess reserves. 2. Banks create less money. 3. Money supply decreases, interest rates up, AD down.

Loanable funds market demand shifters

1. Changes in borrowing by consumers 2. Changes in borrowing by businesses (investment spending) 3. Changes in borrowing by the government (ex: deficit spending)

If the reserve requirement is .1 and the Fed buys $10 million bonds, what will happen to the money supply?

1/.1 = 10 -> 10M(10) = 100M increase

If the reserve requirement is .5 and the Fed sells $10 million of bonds, what will happen to the money supply?

1/.5 = 2 -> 10M(2) = 20 million decrease

Which of the following is most likely to occur if the federal reserve engages in open market operations to reduce inflation

A) Calculate required reserve ratio B) Fed purchases $5,000 of bonds from swell bank. What will be the change in the dollar value of each of the following immediately after the purchase? i) Excess Reserves ii) demand deposits C) Maximum amount the money supply can change because of this purchase D) When the fed purchases bonds, what will happen to the price of bonds in the open market? E) Instead of the purchase of bonds, someone deposits $5,000 cash into their checking account. What is the immediate effect on M1.

A) 20% B) i) 5,000 ii) 0 C) 1/.2 = 5 -> 5,000(5) = 25,000 D) The price of bonds will increase because the purchase of bonds increases the money supply, decreasing the interest rate E) No change

Assets

Anything tangible or intangible that has value.

Interest-Bearing Assets

Assets that earn interest over time. e.g. bonds

When there are ample reserves

Banks deposit a lot of reserves with the central bank • Changing the money supply has little or no effect on interest rates • The central bank conducts monetary policy by changing its administered rates (IOR or discount rate)

When there are limited reserves, what happens if the central bank buys bonds from banks?

Banks will have more reserves The supply of reserves will shift to the right and the interest rate will decrease

1. 10% 2a. decrease by $5,000 2b. No effect - cash and demand deposits both in M1 2c. $500 3. They can borrow from the federal reserve or another bank

Based on Image 1. What is the reserve requirement 2. Luis withdraws $5,000 in cash from his checking account 2a) how much will the banks reserve change by? 2b) What is the initial effect of the withdrawal on M1. Explain 2c) What is the new value of excess reserves? 3. Assume the next day John withdraws an amount that exceeds the excess reserves. No loans are called in, how can the bank cover its required reserves?

Bank B can increase its loans by $40
