The formula for the simple deposit multiplier is: a. Simple Deposit Multiplier = 1/RR b. Simple Deposit Multiplier = 1/(1-RR) c. Simple Deposit Multiplier = -RR/(1-RR) d. Simple Deposit Multiplier = (1-RR)/RR If the required reserve ratio is 0.15, the maximum increase in checking account deposits that will result from an increase in bank reserves of $5,000 is $________

If an increase of $\$ 100$ in excess reserves in a simplified banking system can lead to a total expansion in bank deposits of $\$ 400,$ the required reserve ratio must be a. 40 percent. b. 400 percent. c. 25 percent. d. 4 percent. e. 2.5 percent.
Assume that the banking system has total reserves of $100$ billion. Assume also that required reserves are 10 percent of checking deposits and that banks hold no excess reserves and households hold no currency. a. What is the money multiplier? What is the money supply? b. If the Fed now raises required reserves to 20 percent of deposits, what are the change in reserves and the change in the money supply?
