The required reserve ratio is 0.05. If the Federal Reserve buys $1,000,000 worth of bonds from a bond dealer who has her accoun
t at Bank XYZ above and she deposits the entire $1,000,000 into a checking account at Bank XYZ, what will be the new required and excess reserves for this bank (assume no new loans are made)? (Remember that required reserves are found by applying the required reserve ratio to the amount of total checkable deposits.)
1 answer:
Missing information:
total deposits in bank XYZ = $4,000,000
total reserves = $3,800,000
Answer:
the required reserve = $250,000
excess reserves = $4,550,000
Explanation:
required reserve ratio = 5%
the Fed buys $1,000,000 worth of bonds
the $1,000,000 are deposited entirely in bank XYZ
total checkable deposits will increase to $5,000,000
the required reserve = $5,000,000 x 5% = $250,000
excess reserves = total checkable deposits - total loans - required reserves = $5,000,000 - $200,000 - $250,000 = $4,550,000

Answer:
2 apples and 6 bottles of water
Explanation:
since Bervin earns K22, her consumption possibilities frontier is:
apple water total utils obtained
4 units 1 unit 90 + 20 = 110 utils
3 units 3 units 75 + 54 = 129 utils
2 units 6 units 55 + 90 = 145 utils
1 unit 8 units 30 + 98* = 128 utils
0 units 11 units 0 + 98* = 98 utils
The optimal combination of apples and bottles of water is 2 apples and 6 bottles of water because that combination yields the most utils.
*Since the table only states the utils obtained until the 7th unit, we must assume that any additional unit consumed will provide 0 utils.
