The acceptance of these demands helped the supporters of the Populist Party because during the 1870s and 1880s the American agricultural community suffered from innumerable problems as the United States became urban and industrial. Farmers first sought to solve their own problems through the economic cooperatives founded by the Grange. When these self-help programs proved a failure, farmers began to demand that government respond to their plight.

The political and economic planks of the Populist platform came directly from the Ocala Demands of the Farmers Alliance - the sub treasury program, the free coinage of silver, an end to protective tariffs on manufactured goods, the abolition of national banks, a progressive federal income tax, the direct election of U. S. senators, and the regulation of railroads or their outright nationalization by the federal government.

The Populist party demand that the federal government abandon its laissez-faire policy and take some limited responsibility for the social well-being of American citizens.

Thanks play an important role in determining changes in the money supply. Assume that a bank receives a cash deposit of 9000 fro

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

the money multiplier = 1/ reserve ratio in this case, the reserve ratio is 10% (required) + 10% (voluntary) = 20%, so the money multiplier = 1/20% = 5 %

What is the immediate impact of this transaction on the money supply? None, since the money supply doesn't change. When a customer deposits money in a bank, the money does not increase, only its composition changes. The maximum amount by which this bank will increase its loans from the transaction in part (a) • the bank will be able to loan = total deposit x (1 - reserve ratio) = $9,000

x (1 - 20%) = $7,200

The maximum increase in the money supply that will be generated from the transaction in part

• since the banks started to "create" money by lending the money, the money supply will increase by total deposit x ( money multiplier - 1) = $9,000 x 4 = $36,000 Assume that the government increases spending by $9,000, which is financed by a sale of bonds to the central bank. Indicate what will happen to the money supply.

• The money supply will increase.

Explain what will happen to the money demand. • The money demand will also increase because aggregate demand and income will increase. Aggregate demand will increase by $9,000 x government multiplier. The government multiplier = 1/ MPS.
