Northern City Bank keeps no excess reserves. Assume Northern City Bank receives a cash deposit of $50 dollars. As a result of the deposit, Northern City Bank’s required reserves increase by $10. What is the maximum possible change in the money supply in the banking system that could result from the $50 deposit?
What is The money supply will increase by a maximum of $200.
Since the bank keeps no excess reserves, all excess reserves will be lent out and will result in a maximum increase in loans of $200, which is the product of excess reserves
(=deposits−required reserves=$50−$10=$40)
and the money multiplier
(=1required reserve ratio=1(required reserves / deposits)
=1($10/ $50)=10.2=5).
Therefore, the money supply will increase by a maximum of $200.

The graph above shows two aggregate demand curves, AD1 and AD2, and an aggregate supply curve, AS. The shift in the aggregate demand curve from AD1 to AD2 could be caused by what kind of change in the money supply?
What is a decrease in the money supply
Decreasing the money supply raises nominal interest rates decreasing interest sensitive spending lowering aggregate demand

f the interest rate on a one-year loan is 5% and the expected inflation rate is −2% for the same period, what is the expected real interest rate on the loan?
What is 7%
The expected real interest rate is calculated as the nominal interest rate minus the expected inflation rate; 5%−(−2%)=7%.

describe the relationship between the nominal interest rate and the quantity of money people want to hold as depicted by the money demand curve?

Country X’s economy is enjoying political stability and attracting an increase in foreign financial capital. At the same time Country X’s government is borrowing to finance spending. How will these changes affect the loanable funds market in Country X?
What is There will be an indeterminate effect on the equilibrium real interest rate.
The increase in foreign financial capital increases the supply of loanable funds, which lowers the real interest rate. The increase in government borrowing increases the demand for loanable funds, which increases the real interest rate. Thus, the overall impact on the equilibrium real interest rate is indeterminate.

if an economy is currently experiencing a decrease in the price level and the banking system has limited reserves, what monetary policy actions can be implemented to reverse the change in the price level in the short run?
What are buying bonds on the open market, lowering the reserve requirement or decreasing the discount rate
Buying bonds on the open market is an expansionary monetary policy in a limited reserves banking system. This policy would cause the price level to increase, reversing the change in the price level in the short run.

Country X’s economic situation is depicted by the graph above. What will happen if Country X’s central bank conducts a contractionary monetary policy?
What is The economy will be in a recessionary gap; the price level and the real output level will decrease.
The economy is currently in long-run equilibrium producing the full-employment output. A contractionary monetary policy will cause the AD curve to shift to the left, leading to a decrease in the price level and the real output level. Real output will be lower than full employment and the economy will be in a recessionary gap.

Mia transferred $1,000 from her checking account to a certificate of deposit. How will the M1 and M2 measures of the money supply change?
What is M1 will decrease and M2 will not change.
M1 is composed of currency in circulation, demand deposits, and other liquid deposits such as savings deposits. M2 is composed of M1 and other small-denomination time deposits and balances in retail money market funds. Therefore, transferring money from checking accounts to certificates of deposit will reduce M1 but will not affect M2.

An increase in the price level will affect the money market and bond market in which of the following ways?
What is The nominal interest rate rises, and the price of previously issued bonds falls.
A rise in price level causes the money demand curve to shift to the right, causing the nominal interest rate to rise. Nominal interest rates and bond prices move in opposite directions. Therefore, an increase in the nominal interest rate will result in a decrease in the price of previously issued bonds.

outhern City Bank has $100 million in deposits and has $8 million in excess reserves. If the required reserve ratio is 5%, what is the money multiplier and how much money can be increased in the banking system?
What is The money multiplier is 20, and loans can increase in the banking system by a maximum of $160 million.
The money multiplier is the inverse of the required reserve ratio and is equal to 10.05=20. The bank can lend out its excess reserves up to $8 million. When the bank lends out all its excess reserves, loans in the banking system can increase by a maximum of $160 million which is equal to the product of the bank’s excess reserves and the money multiplier; $8million×20 = $160million.
