Answer: B. 1/R, where R represents the reserve ratio for all banks in the economy.
Explanation:
The Money Multiplier is the money that Banks generate given a certain RESERVE REQUIREMENT/RATIO.
A Reserve Requirement is money that the Central Bank requires that Banks do not loan out and instead keep in reserve.
For example, if the reserve rate is 10% and a bank has $10 they can only loan out $9.
Assuming they loan out $9 then they created $19 in the economy because their customers still own the original $10 but now they have also given loans of $9. The people who take the loans then deposit it in another bank. That bank would keep $0.90 in reserve and loan out $8.10 meaning that $27.10 now exists in the economy.
The process goes on and on until it gets to $100.
A simpler way to get to the final figure is to divide 1 by the reserve requirement = 1/r which is the money multiplier.
Using the above example, that would be 1/0.1 which is 10.
Multiplying this 10 by the initial deposit of $10 will give you that same $100.
Answer:
The annual interest rate charged would be 8%
Explanation:
The annual interest rate which is charged by the parents for the loan is computed as:
Interest rate = (Amount repaid for loan - Lent amount by parents) /Lent amount by parents × 100
where
Lent amount by parents is $400
Amount repaid for loan is $432
Putting the values above:
Interest rate = ($432 - $400) / $400 × 100
Interest rate = $32/ $400 × 100
Interest rate = 0.08 × 100
Interest rate = 8%
Answer:
$950
Explanation:
Reserve ratio is defined as the percentage amount of deposit that a bank is instructed by the governing central bank to keep as cash reserve. This is used to control the money supply in the economy as the the check - able amount that are subjected to withdrawal is limited to the funds available after the reserve ratio has been considered.
Workings
New deposit - $10,000
Required reserve ratio - 5%
No existing excess ratio as at the time of deposit.
Reserve ratio - 5%*10000 = 50
Increase in checking account = 1000-50
= $950
Answer:
Net income: $
Revenue 140,000
Expenses (50,000)
Dividend paid <u> (70,000)</u>
Net income <u> </u><u>20,000</u><u> </u>
Net income is the amount of increase in stockholders' equity.
Explanation:
Net income is the excess of revenue over expenses and dividend. A positive net income increases the stockholders' equity. Common stockholders are legal owners of a company, thus, any income not distributed as dividend increases their equity.
