Explanation / Answer

Since you have answered the first question correctly I assume you don't need an explaination for it.

a. The money multiplier is generally greater than 1 because In a fractional reserve banking system, Each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.

The money mulitplier is equal to one then, Reserves = deposits.

B. Given initial money supply is $2000 and currency held by public is $1000.So the deposits are:

2000-1000=1000

the desired deposits ratio is 0.25, then initial bank reserve is = 1000*0.25 = 250

An increase of $1 in bank reserve expands deposits from $250 to (251/0.25) = 1004 .

Increase in money supply = 1004-250 = 754

The money multiplier is 1/0.25 = 4

C. 1/ (reserve ratio- deposit ratio)
