QUESTION 4 Suppose the required reserve ratio is 10 percent, and banks hold no excess reserves at the Federal Reserve. If an individual withdraws $20 million from BankOne, then all else equal, the total amount of loans and bonds at BankOne must decrease by $18 million. the total amount of loans and bonds at BankOne must decrease by $20 million. the total amount of loans and bonds at BankOne must increase by $20 million. the total amount of loans and bonds at BankOne must increase by $18 million. QUESTION 5 Suppose the required reserve ratio is 10 percent, and banks do not hold excess reserves at the Federal Reserve. If an individual withdraws $20 million from Bank A, then the amount of reserves held by Bank A (at the Federal Reserve) will decrease by $20 million. decrease by $2 million. increase by $2 million. increase by $20 million. QUESTION 6 Suppose that the required reserve ratio in the economy is 10%. If the Federal reserve buys bonds worth $20 million from a commercial bank, then all else equal, the corresponding overall change in deposits (through bank-by-bank deposit expansion) equals $10 million $20 million $100 million $200 million

Assume that the demand for money is given by Md = SY (0.8 - 4i). Initially, the monetary base is S100 billion and nominal income is S5 trillion. Also, suppose that the public holds no currency and the ratio of reserves to deposits is 0.1. What is the demand for central bank money? Find the equilibrium interest rate by setting the demand for central bank money equal to the supply of central bank money. What is the overall supply of money? Is it equal to the overall demand for money at the interest rate you found in part (6)? What is the impact on the interest rate if central bank money is increased to S300 billion? What is the impact if the central bank decided to increase the required reserve ratio to 0.22?
