Question

Suppose the Imperial Galactic Bank has received $1,000 of deposits and all banks face a required reserve ratio of 10 percent. What is the maximum amount of money supply that can be created with this deposit if the Imperial Galactic Bank holds on to $100 of excess reserves (assume it is the only bank in the money supply process that holds on to excess reserves) and no one holds on to cash?

Answer 1

Money Multiplier= 1/ reserve ratio = 1/10% = 10

Change in Money Supply = Change in Reserves * Money Multiplier

= 1,000 * 10 = 10,000

So, option d is the correct option.
