Metropolis National Bank is holding 2% of its deposits as excess reserves. Assume that no banks in the economy want to maintain

holdings of excess reserves and that people only hold deposits and no currency. The Fed makes open market purchases of $10,000. The person who sold bonds to the Fed deposits all the funds in Metropolis National Bank. If the bank now loans out all its excess reserves, by how much will the money supply increase

Answer:

Increase in money supply = $200,000

Explanation:

Note: The given question is incomplete, missing part is as follow:

                    Metropolis National Bank

                            Balance sheet

Assets                                              Liabilities

Reserves     $60,000                Deposits          $500,000

<u> Loans           $440,000                                                           </u>

Computation:

Excess reserve hold = 2% × Deposits  

Excess reserve hold = 2% × $500,000

Excess reserve hold = $10,000

Required reserve =  Reserves - Excess reserve hold

Required reserve = $60,000 - $10,000

Required reserve = $50,000

So,

Required reserve ratio = [$50,000 / $500,000]100 = 10%

Multiplier(K) = 1 / Required reserve ratio

Multiplier(K) = 1 / 10%

Multiplier(K) = 10

Total Money = Person deposit +  Excess reserve hold

Total Money = $10,000 + $10,000

Total Money = $20,000

Increase in money supply = Total Money × Multiplier(K)

Increase in money supply = $20,000<u> </u> × 10

Increase in money supply = $200,000

If your a busy small business owner, taking time away from your store makes you less efficient. The trade offs for using this premium service are 1. your spending more money 2. control over quality. Vise versa if your paying more for the “best groceries” then that may not be an issue. Also be aware that another issue is stocking, going to the store yourself does not guarantee that the store will have all items in stock when you go. 3. Time, taking time to grocery shop takes away from your business or the cost of an employee to watch the business or do the shopping for you having you rely on a third party’s judgment. 4. Gas, the cost of gasoline to go to and from the store. If all these are added up then you are essentially paying more for your “in person” groceries as it is. Choosing to grocery shop yourself saves you money (although how much? Once everything is taken into account?) but again the time it takes away is significant. For a busy small business owner time is extremely important and this is why the trade off of cost or added expenses for groceries may be worth it. (I hope this helps guide you in answering this question).

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The first 1000 minutes cost per month $50 and if you use 1200, minimum you will be charged with $50. To find the cost of the 200 reamining minutes, you multiply 200 times $0,35, which is the cost of one minute when you exceed 1000 minutes. Then you have:

$50⇒ for 1000 minutes

$70⇒ for 200 minutes

Total

$120⇒ for 1200 minutes
