8. Suppose Robina Bank receives a deposit of $55,589 and the reserve requirement is 7%. Answer the questions using this information.
Round your answers to two decimal places.
What is the amount that Robina Bank must keep on hand as
required by the Federal Reserve (Fed)?
keep on hand: $
What is the amount that Robina Bank must have in excess reserves
from this initial deposit?
excess reserves: $
What is the total change in the M1 money supply from this one deposit?
total change: $
Answer:-
Initial deposit = $55,589
Reserve requirement = $55,589 * 7% = $55,589 * 0.07 = $3,891.23
Excess reserve = Total deposit - required reserve
= $55,589 - $3,891.23
= $51697.77
Money multiplier = 1 / reserve requirement
= 1 / 0.07
= 14.286
Change in money supply = Money multiplier x excess reserves
= 14.286 * $51697.77
= $7,38,554.34
