Explanation / Answer

1. a) The answer is given in question

b) The change in excess reserve will be $1 billion - 12.5% of $1 billion = $875 million

c) Now from bank A, the change in nation's money supply will be the amount that it was able to loan or transact with bank B i.e. minus $875 million.

d) Now from bank B, the change in nation's money supply will be the amount that it was able to loan or transact with bank C i.e. $875 million - 12.5% of $875 million = minum $765,625,000

e) Total change in money supply will be as per the money multiplier which is 1/RR so total change is -$1billion/0.125=-$8billion..
