Question
Assuming initially that the required reserve ratio = 10%, the currency-deposit ratio = 75%, and the excess reserve ratio = 156%, an increase in the currency-deposit ratio to 150% causes the M1 money multiplier to , everything else held constant. A) increase from 0.73 to 0.78 B) decrease from 0.73 to 0.61 C) increase from 1.54 to 1.67 D) decrease from 1.67 to 1.54
Solution
The correct answer is B) decrease from 0.73 to 0.61. The M1 money multiplier is calculated as 1 divided by the sum of the required reserve ratio, the currency-deposit ratio, and the excess reserve ratio. If the currency-deposit ratio increases, the denominator of this equation becomes larger, which means the overall value of the money multiplier decreases. So, if the currency-deposit ratio increases from 75% to 150%, the M1 money multiplier decreases from 0.73 to 0.61, everything else held constant.

Suppose that the required reserve ratio is 12%, excess reserve is $300 billion, excess reserve ratio is 0.2 and currency in circulation is $1200 billion. (a) (6 marks) Calculate the money supply, and the money multiplier. (b) (6 marks) Suppose the Central Bank acts as a lender of last resort and lends $2000 billion to two failing commercial banks. However, instead of lending out the money and keeping the ratios constant, the commercial banks instead kept the extra borrowings from the Central Bank as excess reserve instead. Assume that currency and deposits remain the same (while excess reserve and excess reserve ratio change), calculate the new monetary base, money supply, and money multiplier.
