The banking system currently has $200 billion of reserves, none of which are excess. People hold only deposits and no currency, and the reserve requirement is 4 percent. If the Fed raises the reserve requirement to 10 percent and at the same time buys $50 billion worth of bonds, then by how much does the money supply change? a. It rises by $600 billion. b. It rises by $125 billion. c. It falls by $2,500 billion.
