Answer two questions about the money multiplier. Instructions: Round your responses to two decimal places. What is the value of the money multiplier when the required reserve ratio is 0.17? If the required reserve ratio increases to 0.20, what happens to the money multiplier?

2.4. If the required reserve ratio for the Third National Bank is 10 percent, what is the monetary multiplier? Recall, to calculate you have to use the formula: Monetary Multiplier = 1/Required Reserve Ratio. The money multiplier is a key measure in banking that helps to predict the money supply that will be available to drive economic growth. As you can see from the formula, if the reserve requirement is 20%, the money multiplier will be 1 divided by 0.2, which is 5. We can then use the money multiplier multiplied by the excess reserves to determine the maximum checkable-deposit creation that will be provided by the new money entering the system.

1. While cleaning your apartment, you look under the sofa cushion and find a $50 bill (and a half-eaten taco). You deposit the bill in your checking account. The Fed’s reserve requirement is 20% of deposits. A. Assuming the banks hold zero excess reserves, calculate the money multiplier B. What is the maximum amount that the money supply could increase? C. What is the minimum amount that the money supply could increase (here you have to release the zero excess reserves assumption you had to make in B)? 2. why is the money multiplier important?
