<u>Answer:</u>
Federal bank increase initial reserves (by purchase of government bonds) by $8 million, to increase money supply by $40 million
<u>Explanation:</u>
Open market operations refer to buying 7 selling of government securities, to regulate money supply. To increase money supply, central bank buys the government bonds. As, purchase transaction from commercial bank or public imply they have more liquid money supplied.
Money multiplier reflects the multiple change in total money deposits, due to increase in initial deposits.
Final Deposits = (1 / RR) x Initial Deposits; where RR = Reserve requirement
Needed increase in money supply = 40 million, Reserve requirement = 20%
∴ 40 = ( 1 / 0.20 ) x Initial deposits
40 = 5 x Initial Deposits
Initial Deposits = 40 / 5
Initial deposits = 8
Answer:
Explanation:
Regular pay = annual pay/hrs per week * no of weeks in a year * no of regular hrs.
Regular pay = (($90,000/(37 * 52)) * 56) = $2,619.54
Holiday pay = (($90,000/(37 * 52)) * 14) = $654.89
Gross pay = regular pay plus holiday pay
= $2,619.54 + $654.89
= $3,274.43
