demand deposit, by how much may the deposit expand the total money supply? Assume that the legal reserve requirement (required reserves ratio) is 20%. What is the effect of raising the legal reserve requirement to 50%? Since multiplier effect needs to be considered, the total increase in money supply at $10,000 would equal to $50,000 = [$10,000x(1/20%)=$50,000]. If the legal reserve requirement is increased to 50%, the total money supply would expand by only $20,000 = [10,000x(1/50%)=20,000]. From

Chapter 3 2. a. The marginal propensity to save, s, equals 1 − c = 1 −. 6 =.4 b. Autonomous planned spending, Ap, equals Ca − cTa + Ip + G + NX = 1,500 − 10r −. 6 (1800) +2400 minus 50r + _2000_− 200 = − 60r. Therefore, at an interest rate equal to 3, autonomous planned spending equals 4620 − 60(3) = 4400. c. Since the marginal propensity to save equals. _.4________ and the equilibrium level of income equals Ap/s, the equilibrium level of income equals 4400 /. 4 = 11,100 given the
