Answer:

2.75 million

Explanation:

Required reserves is the percentage of deposits required of banks to keep as reserves by the central bank

Required reserves = reserve requirement x deposits

Increase in value of money supply as a result of the purchase is determined by the money multiplier

Money multiplier = 1 / reserve requirement

1/0.05 = 20

increase in money supply = amount of open market purchase / reserve requirement

55  / 20 = 2.75 million

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The Accounting Equation states that;

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Equity as at 2016 = Assets - Liabilities

= 50 - 13

= $37 million

Equity as at 2017 = Assets - Liabilities

= 77 - 18

= $59 million

1. Timmy issued $13 million of stock and declared no dividends.

<em>The Net Income ( loss) will be the figure that gives the Statement of Equity a figure of $59 million.</em>

Net Income = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  - Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 - 13

= $9 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 13

Net income  ......................................................................9

Less: Dividends declared......................................................0

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

2. Timmy issued no stock but declared dividends of $17 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared

= 59 - 37 + 17

= $39 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 0

Net income  ......................................................................39

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(17)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

3. Timmy issued $20 million of stock and declared dividends of $27 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared -  Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 + 27 - 20

= $29 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 20

Net income  ......................................................................29

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(27)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59
