Answer:
(a) Trace the effect of this change through three banks- First National, Second Federal, and Third State.
Antonia deposits $2,000 in First National Bank.
Then First national Bank lends $1,600 to client X that uses the money to purchase something. The seller of that something deposits the money In Second Federal Bank.
Second Federal Bank then lends $1,280 to client Y that decides to use that money to pay his rent. Client Y's landlord then deposits the money in Third State Bank.
Third State Bank will then lend $1,024 to client Z...
(b) How much money will be generated in this banking system?
total money generated in the banking system = Antonia's deposit x money multiplier
money multiplier = 1 / required reserve rate = 1 / 0.2 = 5
so the total money generated = $2,000 x 5 = $10,000
