Answer:

The bank will create excess reserve of $200 billion

Explanation:

The question measures the size of credit expansion associated with the new currency deposit. the computation below shows how excess reserves can be computed.

Money multiplier              =   1 /Legal Reserve Ratio  = 1/0.2 = 5

Excess Reserve Created = A x (1 /Legal Reserve Ratio)

Where:                          A  = New currency deposit =  $40

       Legal Reserve Ratio = 0.20      

                                     

Excess Reserve Created = $40 x (1/0.2)  =  $40 x 5 =  $200 billion                                          

The legal reserve of 5 indicates that for every unit of money reserved by banks, they are able to create 5 units of same.

The money creation capability of the banking system as a whole is depends on the legal reserve ratio. Legal reserve ratio is a fraction of a bank deposit which the law requires them to hold. The bank can only lend the balance after deducting the legal reserve.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Yes, once I was working in a clothing retail store as a manager and my company wanted to expand their business by opening another outlet. We had two locations in out mind but the funds were enough to open only one. After a thorough analysis we decided to open it near the central station of the city.

The opportunity cost of the decision is the income lost from the other location that was near the biggest mall of he city. The only reason behind choosing the first alternative is the potential footfall near the location.

A ceiling on interest rates is likely to lead to a. an increase in lending activity. b. more rapid capital formation by business
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

a. an increase in lending activity.

Explanation:

Interest rate caps (ceilings) are a normative in adjustable-rate mortgage agreements. They define the maximum interest rate permitted in the loan period.

Since they evidently benefit the borrowers (they will never have an exorbitant interest rate), that gives them the incentive to borrow. On the other hand, banks become more secure that the borrowers will not default the loan (when the interest rate becomes high), so they get the incentive to lend.
