Answer:

D) $5,000.

Explanation:

The money multiplier will determine the bank's capacity to "create" money.

The money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio = 1 / 20% = 5

If the bank sells a $1,000 bond, it will expand its total loans by the increase in the reserves x the money multiplier = $1,000 x 5 = $5,000

nexus9112 [7]

Answer: 8%

Explanation:

The expected return is a weighted average of the returns given the probability of certain states of the economy:

= (Prob. of boom * return if boom) + (Prob. of normal * return if normal) + (Prob. of  weak * return if weak)

= (20% * 35%) + (50% * 14%) + (30% * -20%)

= 0.07 + 0.07 - 0.06

= 8%
