In the money creation process, the simple money multiplier assumes that banks hold no excess reserves. What is the consequence of a bank holding excess reserves? Choose one: A. The simple money multiplier becomes smaller as fewer deposits are made. B. The simple money multiplier becomes smaller as less money is loaned out. C. The simple money multiplier initially increases but then decreases as loans are paid off. D. The simple money multiplier becomes larger as more deposits are made. E. The simple money multiplier becomes larger as more money is loaned out.

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 $________

Suppose that the reserve requirement for checking deposits is 10 percent and that banks do not hold any excess reserves. a. If the Fed sells $\$$1 million of government bonds, what is the effect on the economy's reserves and money supply? b. Now suppose the Fed lowers 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?
