question five. You take $100 you had kept under your mattress and deposited into your bank account. And if this 100 are feels days in the banking system has reserves and it banks hold reserves, they go to 10% off deposits. So by how much does the total amount of deposits in the banking system increases increase? And by how much does the money supply increase? Okay, so we draw a TP off first.

Which means that in the first round, the re runs er is going to be 10% while long here still oh, and is $90. Okay, so this money stays in the banking system. So we can know that if the bank lane, this amount of money to another people and that people also I borrowed this money and then deposited into the bank, it is going to make the deposit 90 others, and then also the bank reserve 10% out of $90 which is nice dollars and then the longest 81. So on and on and on the deposit, the total number of deposit is going to be 100 plus 90. So I will write it down. 100 plus 90 and a plus 90 point 98 point Oh, 0.9, which is 81 and then 81 times 0.9. So the sum of the total deposit is going to bring the sum of all these numbers. So it is going to be one minus 0.9 and ah, numerator is the 100. So the total deposit is going to be 1000.
