Use the following data to answer the below question.
Required reserve $50
Checkable deposits $500
Savings Deposits $50
Excess reserves $180
Currency held by the public $160
The money multiplier is 1.69
The Fed conducts an open market purchase of $70.
What will be the change in the money supply? (Round to 2 decimal places/)
What is the change in checkable deposits? (/Round to 2 decimal places/)
Answer (1):- Change in money supply = change in reserve × money multiplier
= Money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio
= 1.69 = 1 / reserve ratio
= Reserve ratio = 0.59
= Required reserve = $50
= Excess reserve = $180
= Total reserve = 550 × 0.59
= Total reserve = 324.5
Change in reserve = Total reserve - ( Excess reserve + required reserve)
Change in reserve = 324.5 - ( 180 + 50 )
Change in reserve = 94.5
Hence, change in money supply = 94.5 × 1.69
Change in money supply = 159.70
(2):- Change in Checkable deposit = Excess reserve × reserve ratio
Change in Checkable deposit = 180 × 0.59
Change in Checkable deposit = 106.2
