Question 1

Accepted Answer

The money multiplier is calculated as the reciprocal of the sum of the currency drain ratio (C/D) and the desired reserve ratio (R/D), which is given by the formula $ \frac{1+C / D}{R / D+C / D} $.

Question 3

An open market purchase of securities by the Reserve Bank leads to all of the following EXCEPT

Accepted Answer

An open market purchase of securities by the Reserve Bank increases the monetary base, which in turn increases banks' reserves and excess reserves. This can lead to an increase in bank lending, as banks have more reserves to lend out. However, an open market purchase does not directly lead to a decrease in the quantity of money.

Question 4

When the Reserve Bank sells $100 million of securities to a bank,the

Accepted Answer

When the Reserve Bank sells securities to a bank, it receives payment in the form of reserves. As a result, the bank's reserve balance decreases, implying that option A is correct. Option B is incorrect since there is no mention of changes in the required reserve ratio. Option C is also incorrect because the bank's reserves need to decrease by $100 million. Option D is untrue because the monetary base will remain unaffected until the bank lends out the reserves. Option E is also not correct since the money supply will not be affected until the bank loan out the excess reserves.

Question 5

The Reserve Bank purchases $100 million of government securities from the National Australia Bank.The balance sheet for the National Australia Bank shows ________ in its total assets and ________ in its total liabilities.

Accepted Answer

When the Reserve Bank purchases government securities, it increases the bank's reserves, but the total assets and liabilities remain unchanged as the transaction is an asset swap.

Question 6

If the money multiplier is 3.0,a $1,000 increase in the monetary base

Accepted Answer

The money multiplier of 3.0 means that for every increase of $1 in the monetary base, the quantity of money increases by $3. Therefore, a $1,000 increase in the monetary base would result in an increase in the quantity of money by $3,000 (3 x $1,000).

Question 7

When the Reserve Bank sells government securities to banks,the sale

Accepted Answer

When the Reserve Bank sells government securities to banks, it receives payment in the form of bank reserves. As a result, the banks' reserves decrease.

Question 8

If required reserves are 20 per cent and the Reserve Bank buys $10,000 worth of government securities,what is the change in the banks' total reserves?

Accepted Answer

If the Reserve Bank buys $10,000 worth of government securities and required reserves are 20 per cent, then the banks' required reserves increase by $2,000 (20% x $10,000). Therefore, the remaining $8,000 ($10,000 - $2,000) counts as excess reserves, which also increases the banks' total reserves. Therefore, the change in total reserves is $10,000.

Question 9

When the Reserve Bank sells government securities to banks,the sale

Accepted Answer

When the Reserve Bank sells government securities to banks, it decreases the banks' reserves, as the banks have to pay for the securities with their reserves, reducing the amount of money they have available to lend out. This can lead to a decrease in the quantity of money in circulation.

Question 10

When the Reserve Bank purchases government securities ________ loans end up being made because ________.

Accepted Answer

When the Reserve Bank purchases government securities, it injects money into the banking system, increasing excess reserves and enabling banks to make more loans.

Question 11

When the Reserve Bank sells government securities, it decreases the quantity of banks' reserves as banks buy these securities from their reserves.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

When the Reserve Bank buys government securities, it pays for them by increasing the amount of reserves held by the seller's bank. Therefore, the immediate effect of the purchase is that banks' reserves increase.

Question 13

The Reserve Bank purchases $1 million government securities from ANZ.The desired reserve ratio is 10 per cent,the currency drain ratio is zero,and banks loan all excess reserves.The money multiplier is equal to

Accepted Answer

The money multiplier is equal to the reciprocal of the reserve ratio. In this case, the reserve ratio is 10%, so the money multiplier is 1/0.1 = 10. Therefore, the Reserve Bank's purchase of $1 million in government securities will create up to $10 million in new money as banks loan out their excess reserves.

Question 14

When the Reserve Bank buys $10 million of securities from a bank,the

Accepted Answer

When the Reserve Bank buys $10 million of securities from a bank, the monetary base increases. This is because the bank's reserves increase by $10 million, which in turn increases the amount of money that can be lent out, leading to an expansion of the money supply.

Question 15

Question 16

Accepted Answer

When the Reserve Bank buys securities in an open market operation, it increases banks' reserves, leading to an increase in lending. Therefore, choice B, where the Reserve Bank buys securities and increases banks' reserves, leading to an increase in lending, is the correct answer.

Question 17

The number by which a change in the monetary base is multiplied to find the resulting change in the quantity of money is called the

Accepted Answer

The number by which a change in the monetary base is multiplied to find the resulting change in the quantity of money is called the money multiplier. The currency multiplier and currency drain are not correct terms. The desired reserve ratio refers to the percentage of deposits that banks choose to hold as reserves, and open market operation is a tool used by the Federal Reserve to buy or sell government securities.

Question 18

The money multiplier is the

Accepted Answer

The money multiplier is the factor by which a change in the monetary base is multiplied to give the change in the quantity of money. This means that if there is an increase in the monetary base, it can lead to a larger increase in the overall money supply through the banking system.

Question 19

Suppose the currency drain ratio is 33.33 per cent and the desired reserve ratio is 10 per cent.The money multiplier equals

Accepted Answer

The formula for money multiplier is:
Money multiplier = 1 / (currency drain ratio + reserve ratio)
Substituting the given values, we get:
Money multiplier = 1 / (0.3333 + 0.10) = 1 / 0.4333 = 2.3077
Therefore, the closest option is C, which equals 3.08.

Question 20

If a bank has $25,000 in excess reserves and the desired reserve ratio is 20 per cent,what is the maximum this bank can loan?

Accepted Answer

Excess reserves are the amount a bank has beyond what it is required to hold by the reserve ratio. If the bank has $25,000 in excess reserves, this is the maximum amount it can loan out, regardless of the reserve ratio.
