Answer:
1) If the Fed sells $2 million of government bonds, the economy’s reserves Decrease by $2 million, and the money supply will Decrease by $16 million.
2) The money multiplier will remain unchanged. True
3) As a result, the overall change in the money supply will remain unchanged. True
Explanation:
1.) We have the reserve requirement for checking deposits as 12.5% with banks not holding any excess reserves.
To calculate Money Multiplier:
Money Multiplier = 
= 
= 8
If the Fed sells $2 million of bonds, reserves will decrease by $2 million and the money supply will decrease by 8 x $2 million = $16 million.
2) and 3) Now the Fed lowers the reserve requirement to 10 percent, but banks choose to hold another 2.5 percent of deposits as excess reserves.
To calculate Money Multiplier:
Money Multiplier = = 
= 8
Money multiplier is 8 same as in 1) Therefore the statements: "The money multiplier will remain unchanged" and "As a result, the overall change in the money supply will remain unchanged" are both True.

Answer:
The value of the settlement today = $231,897.79
Explanation:
The value of the settlement today is the sum of the present value (PV) of cash inflows discounted at the discount rate of 5.7 %.
Year PV
1 35,000 × 1.057^(-1) = 33112.58
2 39,000× 1.057^(-2) = 34907.16
3. 80,000× 1.057^(-3) = 67743.09
4 120,000 × 1.057^(-4) =96134.94
The Pv of the total cash in flow =33,112.58 + 34,907.17 + 67,743.09 + 96,134.95 = 231,897.79
The value of the settlement today = $231,897.79
Answer: Liquidity in the banking system is increased
Explanation:
The Federal Funds rate is the interest rate at which commercial banks are allowed to lend each other their excess reserves overnight to meet reserve requirements.
If this rate were to be reduced, it would make lending cheaper between banks who would then take advantage of this to borrow more occasionally. This will then translate to a higher liquidity amongst the banks.
The returns of a capital amount to a compensation rate for depositing the money, to calculate these returns an interest rate is used by which the deposited capital is multiplied, in this case the rate is 4%.
As the money distributed is only the product of interest, then that money is the result of multiplying the capital by the interest rate, to obtain how much money Mr. Jefferson contributed, the reverse process will have to be done.
Answers
let <em>C</em> be the capital, then
:
The capital contributed by Mr. Jefferson was <em>$4,262,500</em>
