Question
Suppose that a bank receives a new deposit of 20800$1000BackNext
Solution
The required reserve ratio is the percentage of deposits that banks are legally required to keep on hand. In this case, the required reserve ratio is 20%, which means the bank must keep 20% of the new deposit of 40, in reserve.
The bank is then free to lend out the rest of the deposit, which is 40 = $160. This loaned money can then be deposited into other banks, which can lend out a portion of it, and so on. This process can increase the money supply.
So, the maximum amount of money that the money supply can increase by, excluding the original deposit, is $160.
