Assume that the following balance sheet portrays the state of the banking system. the banks currently have no excess reserves. assets liabilities and net worth (billions of dollars) total reserves 40 checkable deposits 160 loans 50 securities 70 total 160 total 160 what is the required reserve ratio? 10% 40% 25% 5% suppose that the federal reserve (the "fed") buys $10 million of bonds from a bond dealer, who immediately deposits the funds in her checking account. what is the initial impact of this transaction? the banking system's holdings of securities rise by $10 million, and the banking system's total reserves fall by $10 million. checkable deposits rise by $10 million, and the banking system's holdings of securities rise by $10 million. checkable deposits rise by $10 million, and the banking system's total reserves rise by $10 million. the banking system's holdings of securities fall by $10 million, and the banking system's total reserves rise by $10 million. as a result of the fed's purchase of $10 million of securities, checkable deposits in the banking system can potentially by as much as .

What would be the input, conversion and output of developing a new soft drink

Assume that the following conditions exist: a. all banks are fully loaned up- there are no excess reserves, and desired excess reserves are always zero. b. the money multiplier is 5 .     c. the planned investment schedule is such that at a 4 percent rate of interest, investment =$1450 billion. at 5 percent, investment is $1420 billion. d. the investment multiplier is 3 . e.. the initial equilibrium level of real gdp is $12 trillion. f. the equilibrium rate of interest is 4 percent now the fed engages in contractionary monetary policy. it sells $1 billion worth of bonds, which reduces the money supply, which in turn raises the market rate of interest by 1 percentage point. calculate the decrease in money supply after fed's sale of bonds: $nothing billion.
