To solve this problem, we should remember that the formula for reserve ratio is:

r = reserves / demand deposits

Where,

r = reserve ratio

reserves = $ 3 billion in government securities

Therefore the demand deposits is:

demand deposits = $ 3 billion / 0.25

demand deposits = $ 12 billion

Since $ 3 billion was bought, therefore the increase in the lending ability of the commercial banks is:

$ 12 - $ 3 billion = $ 9 billion

 

Answer:

$ 9 billion

NeTakaya

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Given that,

Interest at last year debt = 8%

Current year cost of debt = 25% higher

Firms paid for debt last year = 10%

Firms paid for debt in current year = 12.50%

Kd - cost of debt

Yield = Interest at last year debt × (1 + increase in cost of debt)

         = 8% × (1 + 0.25)

         = 8% × 1.25

         = 10%

Kd = Yield (1 – T)

Kd = 10% (1 – 0)

     = 10% (1)

     = 10%

Therefore, after tax cost of debt would be 10%.
