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".

Basile [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is genetic algorithms

Explanation:

Genetic Algorithms are adaptive methods that can be used to solve search and optimization problems. They are based on the genetic process of living organisms. Throughout the generations, populations evolve in nature according to the principles of natural selection and the survival of the strongest, postulated by Darwin (1859).

By imitating this process, Genetic Algorithms are able to create solutions for real-world problems. The evolution of these solutions towards optimal values of the problem depends to a large extent on their adequate codification.

Mary, her daughter Caroline, her 2 nieces and a servant girl cut the stars and stripes, all by hand ( it was before the invention of the sew machine ). That flag inspired Francis Scott Key to write a poem " Defence of Fort M`Henry ". The combination of Key`s poem and Smith`s music became known as a song "The Star-Spangled Banner". This song was adopted as a national anthem of the United States in 1931.    Answer: Mary Pickersgill.
