Suppose that the Federal Reserve lowers the required reserve ratio from 0.10 to 0.05. How does this affect the simple money multiplier? By how much would the money supply change if there was an increase in fresh reserves of $100,000? (Note: Calculate the change in the money supply at both levels of the required reserve ratio given, and then find the difference).

If the central bank decreases the amount of reserves banks are required to hold from 20% to 10%, then: a) both the money multiplier and the supply of money in the economy will decrease. b) both the money multiplier and the supply of money in the economy will increase. c) the money multiplier will decrease and the supply of money in the economy will increase. d) the money multiplier will increase and the supply of money in the economy will decrease.

Suppose that the reserve requirement for checking deposit is 10 percent and that banks do not hold any excess reserves Now, suppose BNM lower the reserve requirement to 5 percent, but banks choose to hold another 5 percent of deposits as excess reserves. Why might banks do so? What is the overall change in the money multiplier and the money supply as a result of these actions?
