Consider the following simplified balance sheet of a commercial bank: ASSETS LIABILITIES Vault cash $200 $3500 Deposits Deposits

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Check the following calculations

Explanation:

(a)

Actual Reserves = Vault cash + Deposits at the Federal Reserve

Actual Reserves = $200 + $300

Actual Reserves = $500

The actual reserves are $500.

Calculate Required Reserves -

Required Reserves = Deposits * Required reserve ratio

Required Reserves = $3500 * 0.10 = $350

The required reserves are $350.

Calculate Excess Reserves -

Excess reserves = Actual reserves - Required Reserves

Excess reserves = $500 - $350 = $150

The Excess reserves are $150.

(b)

A bank can increase the amount of its loan by the amount of excess reserves it held.

This bank has excess reserves of $150.

So, this bank can increase its loans by $150.

(c)

Calculate Money multiplier -

Money multiplier = 1/Required reserve ratio = 1/0.10 = 10

The money multiplier is equal to 10.

(d)

Calculate total expansion of loan by entire banking system -

Total expansion = Increase in loan by individual bank * Money multiplier

Total expansion = $150 * 10 = $1,500

The entire banking system can expand their loans by $1,500.

(e)

The new wealth directly created from this expansion of deposits is equal to the quantum of expansion in deposits.

The deposits has expanded by $1,500.

So, new wealth directly created from this expansion of deposits is $1,500.

Answer:

Japan exported much more to the United States during this period than it imported from the United States.

Explanation:

When a country's trade balance is positive, its currency tends to appreciate since foreign buyers want to purchase more domestic goods.

Since Japan has been consistently exporting more goods to the US than what they import from the US, American businesses need to buy more Japanese yens, than the amount of US dollars that Japanese businesses need. Therefore an increase in the demand of Japanese yens will need into a price increase of that currency.
