Suppose the Fed carries out an open market sale of $100m and simultaneously decreases the minimum required reserve ratio from 10
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

loanable amount after Fed operation = $950 M

Securities after fed operation = $50 M

attached below is the T-account table

Explanation:

Given data:

For assets : securities = $100 M ,  Loans = $800 M

For Liabilities :  Constant demand deposit = $1000 M

difference between the assets and liability = $100 M  and this makes the Banking system unbalanced hence the Banking system needs the intervention of the Fed. and the reduction in the required reserve ratio from 10% to 5% is the right action

How with the reserve ratio reduced to: 0.05

hence required  Minimum required securities after operation = 0.05 * 1000 M = 50 M

Note : Total demand deposits = securities + loanable amount

therefore loanable amount after Fed operation = $1000 M - $50 M = $950

Attached below is the T-table

When both tables are compared it can be seen that there is a significant increase  in the loanable amount after the Fed's operations and increase in Loanable amount transcends to increase in Monetary base

When it comes to decision making, in a limited partnership there is no separation of ownership and control limited partners have
kati45 [8]

Answer:

yes, there is no separation between the administration and ownership in a partnership.

the partnership contract stipulates which partners have the decision making ability and which partners don't. We cannot say specifically that limited partners have no say in decision making.

Moreover, the control of the partnership is not based on the amount invested like in corporations. that too is based on the contract. however, in practice, yes if you have more money invested in the business, you have more influence.
