Answer: $16 billion, and also by $16 billion if the securities are purchased directly from commercial banks

Explanation:

Since we are given a 25% reserve ratio, then the money multiplier will therefore be:

= 1/25%

= 1/0.25

= 4.

Therefore, the money supply will be increased to (4 billion × 4) = 16 billion.

Therefore, the answer is "$16 billion, and also by $16 billion if the securities are purchased directly from commercial banks".

Calculate Payroll An employee earns $44 per hour and 1.5 times that rate for all hours in excess of 40 hours per week. Assume th
Ket [755]

Answer:

The correct answer for option (a) is $3,080 and for option (b) is $2,141.

Explanation:

(a). Current pay = $44

After 40 hours, Pay = $44 × 1.5 = $66

So, we can calculate the gross pay by using following formula:

Gross pay = (40 hours × $44 ) + (20 hours × $66)

= $1,760 + $1,320

= $3,080

(b).

Security Tax = Gross pay × 6% =  $3,080 × 6% = $184.8

Medicare Tax = Gross pay × 1.5% =  $3,080 × 1.5% = $46.2

Federal Income Tax = $708

So, we can calculate the net pay by using following formula:

Net Pay = $3,080 - $184.8 - $46.2 - $708

= $2,141
