Exam 4 Part 2
A bank has excess reserves of $6,000 and demand deposit liabilities of $100,000 when the required reserve ratio is 20 percent. If the reserve ratio is raised to 25 percent, the bank's excess reserves will be

The relationship between borrowed reserves, the nonborrowed monetary base, and the monetary base is
BR = MB - MBn.
For which of the following is the change in reserves necessarily different from the change in the monetary base?
Open market purchases from an individual who cashes the check
Explain two ways by which the Federal Reserve System can increase the monetary base. Why is the effect of Federal Reserve actions on bank reserves less exact than the effect on the monetary base?
The Fed can increase the monetary base by purchasing government bonds and by extending discount loans. If the person selling the security chooses to keep the proceeds in currency, bank reserves do not increase. Because the Fed cannot control the distribution of the monetary base between reserves and currency, it has less control over reserves than the base.
Total Reserves minus vault cash equals
bank deposits with the Fed.
When a member of the nonbank public withdraws currency from her bank account,
bank reserves fall, but the monetary base remains unchanged.
When a member of the nonbank public deposits currency into her bank account,
bank reserves rise, but the monetary base remains unchanged.
The three players in the money supply process include
banks, depositors, and the central bank.
The Fed does not tightly control the monetary base because it does not completely control
borrowed reserves.
The formula for the simple deposit multiplier can be expressed as
change in D= × change in R
The simple deposit multiplier can be expressed as the ratio of the
change in deposits divided by the change in reserves in the banking system

If the Fed decides to reduce bank reserves, it can
sell government bonds.
In the simple model of multiple deposit creation in which banks do not hold excess reserves, the increase in checkable deposits equals the product of the change in excess reserves and the
simple deposit expansion multiplier.
