5. The SIMPLEX financial system is characterized by a required reserves ratio 11 percent; initial excess reserves are $ 1million, and there are no currency or other leakages.

a. What would be the maximum amount of checkable deposits after deposit expansion, and what would be the money multiplier?

b. How would your answer in (a) change if the reserve requirement had been 9 percent?

Explanation / Answer

1. Assume that Banc One Receives a primary deposit of $1 million. The bank must keep reserves of 20 percent against its deposits. Prepare a simple balance sheet of assets and liabilities for Banc One immediately after the deposit is received.

A) the assets at the bank increase by $1,000,000.
B) reserves increase by $200,000.

5. The SIMPLEX financial system is characterized by a required reserves ratio 11 percent; initial excess reserves are $ 1million, and there are no currency or other leakages.

a. What would be the maximum amount of checkable deposits after deposit expansion, and what would be the money multiplier?

Maximum Amount = 1000000 x 0.11 = 110000


Money multiplier = 1/ reserve ratio = 1/0.11 = 9.09
