Suppose the required reserve ratio is 8% and the Fed purchases $10 million worth of Treasury bills from Wells Fargo. What's the

maximum possible increase of deposits in the banking system
Business
1 answer:
ahrayia [7]2 years ago

The answer is $100 million.

The reserve ratio is the percentage of a commercial bank's deposits that it must retain in cash as a reserve in case of large client withdrawals, as determined by the central bank.

The reserve ratio is a significant monetary policy instrument used by the Federal Reserve in the United States to boost or decrease the economy's money supply.

Banks require an RRR of 8% for demand deposits, not for funds received through the selling of treasury bills to the FED, hence Wells Fargo will be free to raise its loans by $100 million.

Scarcity can be eliminated if
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The scarcity is the key problem that the economics are trying to find an answer to and try to mitigate by making the resources more productive.

The scarcity arises because of 2 main factors,

  1. The human wants are Unlimited
  2. The resources available to satisfy these wants are Limited

In theory, if we need to "eliminate" scarcity complete we should either Limit our Needs or find an Unlimited source of resources we require.

However, these are not practical solutions.

So because of this, economics try to utilize technology and other factors to harness the full potential of resources and to use them optimally.

You want your portfolio beta to be 0.90. Currently, your portfolio consists of $4,000 invested in stock A with a beta of 1.47 an
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

31.47%

Explanation:

Total investment = 4000 + 3000 +9000 = $16,000

% of investment in A = 4000/16000 = 25%

% of investment in B = 3000/16000 = 18.75%

% of investment in Asset beta and risk-free asset = 100% - 25% -18.75% = 56.25%

Let the % of investment in asset with beta of 1.74 is A, % of investment in risk free asset is B.

We have the following simultaneous equations:

0.9 = (0.25 x 1.47) + (0.1875 x 0.54) + (A x 1.74) + (B x 0)

A+B = 56.25%

From the first equation, we get A = 24.78%

--> B = 56.25% - 24.78% = 31.47%

*** Note: Portfolio beta is the weighted sum of individual asset betas, according to the proportions of the investments in the portfolio

*** Note: Beta of risk free asset is 0

g Which of the following are the three factors used to determine a company's credit rating? Its current ratio, its debt-to-equit
NISA [10]

The three factors used to determine a company’s credit rating are its current ratio, its debt-to-equity ratio, and its interest coverage ratio.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A credit rating comes in the list of the company’s annual performance targets. It helps to decide the company’s current year progress.  
  • A company’s debt-to-equity ratio is used to know the debt of a company as compared to the total equity. If this ratio is high, the company is taking on much debt.  
  • The current ratio marks a way to compute the liquidity of the company. It shows how well a firm is placed to meet the short term obligations. Broadly, a 2-1 ratio is considered a good ratio.
  • The interest coverage ratio tells how well the company may pay its future loan payments. If the ratio is higher than 3-to-1, it suggests that the company is in a good position to make future payments.
