Answer:

The answer is: A) All items that are included in M1 are included also in M2.

Explanation:

I guess this question is about money supply.

The money supply is the total amount of money available in an economy. It includes:

M1 includes coins and notes (bills) in circulation plus other money equivalents that are easily liquidated.
M2 includes M1 plus short term bank deposits and 24 hour money market funds.
M3 includes M2 plus long term bank deposits and money markets with more than 24 hour maturity.

Explanation:

1. Beleaguered State Bank (BSB) holds $500 million in deposits and maintains a reserve ratio of 20 percent. Complete the following T-account for BSB.

Note: See part 1 of the attached excel file for the T-account.

In the attached excel, the following calculations are made:

Reserves = $500 million * 20% = $100 million

Loans = $500 - $100 = $400

2. Now suppose that BSB's largest depositor withdraws $25 million in cash from her account. BSB decides to restore its reserve ratio by reducing the amount of loans outstanding.

Note: See part 2 of the attached excel file for the T-account.

In the attached excel, the following calculations are made:

Deposits = $500 million - $25 million = $475 million

Reserves = $475 million * 20% = $95 million

Loans = $475 - $95 = $380

4. Which of the following ways represent an alternative for BSB to return to its original reserve ratio? Check all that apply.

The correct options are b. Borrow money from another bank and d. Attract additional deposits.

Which of the following statements is true?

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

These statements are true:

A) The Federal Reserve does not set the Federal funds rate, but it influences it through the use of open market operations:

For example, at the very moment the Fed funds rate is 1.75%. If the Fed wanted to raise it to 2%, it would have to do so through the use of open market operations (in this case, because it wants to raise the rate, it would have to sell securities in order to reduce the money supply).

C) The Federal Reserve sets the target for the Federal funds rate, and then uses the reserve ratio to push banks toward that target.

Reserve requirements are perhaps the most powerful, and least often used, monetary policy tool that the Fed has at its disposal. It is very powerful because it directly increases or decreases the money supply.

For example, if the Fed wants to increase the fed funds rate, it can raise the reserve ratio so that banks keep more money in reserves, have less money to loan, and in consequence, create less money, causing the money supply to shrink and the fed funds rate to rise accordingly.

D) The Federal Reserve sets the Federal funds rate.

Correct. More specifically, the Federal Open Market Committee, which meets eight times a year to set the target for the fed funds rate.

A dozen eggs cost $0.96 in December 2000 and $2.75 in December 2015. The average wage for workers in private industries was $14.

Tom [10]

Answer:

By 186% the price of a dozen eggs rise.

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost in December 2000 = $0.96

Cost in December 2015 = $2.75

Average wage for December 2000 = $14.28 per hour

Average wage for December 2015 = $21.26

By considering these information, we are able to calculate the increase price percentage of a dozen eggs. The calculation is shown below:

= (December 2015 price - December 2000 price ) ÷ (December 2000 price) × 100

= ($2.75 - $0.96) ÷ ($0.96) × 100

= ($1.79) ÷ ($0.96) × 100

= 186%

Thus, by 186% the price of a dozen eggs rise.
