119. The table below represents the balance sheet of a bank。 What is the
leverage ratio of the bank, and what does it mean?
Assets Reserves Loans Securities
Liabilities and Owners' Equity 500 Deposits 1400 1000 Debt 400 500 Owners’ equity 200 120。 The Federal Reserve wants to increase the money supply by printing
and distributing 1 million dollars worth of currency notes. What will be the actual increase in money supply if the public holds one fourth of the currency as cash, and deposits rest of the money in banks that hold 5 percent of their deposits as reserves?

101. a。 The money supply is $550 billion.
b。 The money supply is $366。67 billion。 c. The money supply is $400 billion.
102。 a。 The greater preference for currency increased the currency–deposit
ratio, which reduced the money multiplier and reduced the money supply for a given monetary base.
b。 The Fed could engage in open—market purchases to increase the monetary
base to offset the decline in the money multiplier. (Reducing the discount rate and reducing reserve requirements could theoretically achieve the same outcome but are not as practical).
103. a。 The Fed would conduct open-market sales, raise the discount rate, and
raise interest paid on reserves.
b。 Open—market operations and discount rate changes affect the monetary
base。 Changing interest payments on reserves alters the money multiplier。

104. a. In the process of moving from fractional-reserve to 100—percent-reserve
banking, the money supply would have to contract if the monetary base remained unchanged. Deposits will have to contract to equal the quantity of reserves。
b. The money multiplier equals 1= [(1 + cr)/(1 + cr)]。
105. For a given monetary base, controlled by the Federal Reserve, the
money supply also depends on: (1) the amount of currency the public chooses to hold relative to deposits, and (2) the amount of reserves that banks choose to hold relative to deposits。 Therefore, actions of both the public and banks influence the size of the money supply in addition to the actions of the Fed。
106。 Many values are possible in the balance sheet, but (1) assets should
equal liabilities and net worth, (2) items should be correctly categorized as assets or liabilities, (3) the ratio of reserves to deposits should be 10 percent, and (4) the ratio of assets to capital should be 10, as in the example below. If asset values fall by 10 percent of total assets (for example, if loans fall from 100,000 to 85,000 in the example below), then capital equals zero。 When capital is exhausted, the bank will not have sufficient resources to pay off depositors or debt holders if there is a further decline in asset values。
Bank Balance Sheet Assets Reserves $ 10,000 Liabilities & Net Worth Deposits $100,000 (完整版)中级宏观经济学付费版题库4经济增长Ⅰ
Loans Securities 100,000 40,000 Debt Capital 35,000 15,000 107. With a leverage ratio of , a 1.85 percent fall in asset values wipes
out capital, while with a leverage ratio of 20, a 5 percent fall in asset values wipes out capital。 The higher leverage ratio of the U。S. bank makes it much more susceptible to losing capital and being unable to pay off depositors. The higher leverage ratio puts the U。S. system at greater risk for bank runs, bank failures, and greater instability。
108. a。 $1 billion; b。 $10 billion; c. $1 billion; d. $5.5 billion
109。 a. Money consists of the assets used to make transactions. Money serves as
a store of value, unit of account, and medium of exchange. In most fiat money economies, the government maintains a monopoly over the supply of money。 If Mr。 Rich is “making money,” i。e。, increasing the supply of money, this is counterfeiting and is illegal。
b。 Mr。 Rich could say he “earns a large income,” or “is very wealthy,”
or “has a lot of money,” or “makes big profits。”
110。 Banks' demand for reserves will be affected by: (1) legal reserve
requirements, (2) the size and regularity of customer deposits and withdrawals, (3) the interest rate paid on reserves relative to alternative bank investments, and (4) the number of bank failures and level of uncertainty in the economy.
111。 Fiat money fulfills all the three purposes of money better than other
types of money。 Fiat money provides a store of value, i.e。 it can
(完整版)中级宏观经济学付费版题库4经济增长Ⅰ
be stored to be used in future。 It has a unit of account, e.g。, dollar, euro, etc。 And it is a widely accepted medium of exchange。
112。 Checking accounts are included in M1 and M2, but not in C。 Saving
accounts are included only in M2。 So this transaction will have no effect on C and M2, but M1 will be reduced by $100.
113. When a credit card is used, there is no actual payment made by the
credit card holder at the moment, since this payment is deferred. So this transaction does not affect any measure of money. Only when a credit card payment is made to the bank is the transaction included in different measures of money.
114. Money multiplier = (1 + cr) / (rr + cr) = 1。2/0.4 = 3
Money supply = money multiplier x monetary base Money supply = (3)(500) = $1500 million
115。 When the Federal Reserve purchases bonds through open—market
operations, it increases the monetary base and the money supply, while the selling of the bonds to the public decreases the monetary base and money supply。
116. Banks defaulted on their deposits. This caused current-deposit ratios
to fall, and hence there was a reduction in the money multiplier. So, despite the increase in the monetary base, the money supply was reduced further, making the depression worse。
117. The Federal Reserve cannot completely control the money supply because
it has no control on how much money the public will hold as currency and not deposit in banks. Another reason is that it cannot control
(完整版)中级宏观经济学付费版题库4经济增长Ⅰ
how much reserve banks will keep against the deposits they have。
118。 a. This will decrease the money multiplier and so the money supply
will also decrease。
b。 This will increase the money multiplier and so the money supply will also increase。
119。 Leverage ratio = Total assets / capital (owner’s equity) = 2000/200
= 10
This means that for the contribution of every dollar by the bank owner, nine dollars are contributed through deposits and debts。
120。 Money multiplier = 1 / reserve—deposit ratio = 1/.05 = 20。 As 0.25
million will be held by the public and 0。75 million will be deposited in the bank, the money deposited in banks will increase the money supply by ((.75)(20))($5 million). The net increase in money supply will be = 。25 + 15 = $15。25 million。
