In a system of 100-percent-reserve banking,

banks do not influence the supply of money.

loans are the only asset item for banks.

If a bank has a reserve ratio of 8 percent, then

the bank keeps 8 percent of its deposits as reserves and loans out the rest.

government regulation requires the bank to use at least 8 percent of its deposits to make loans.

the bank’s ratio of loans to deposits is 8 percent.

the bank keeps 8 percent of its assets as reserves and loans out the rest.

A bank has a 10 percent reserve requirement, $5,000 in deposits, and has loaned out all it can given the reserve requirement.

It has $500 in reserves and $4,500 in loans.

It has $50 in reserves and $4,950 in loans.

It has $555 in reserves and $4,445 in loans.

The money multiplier equals

1/R, where R represents the reserve ratio for all banks in the economy.

1/R, where R represents the quantity of reserves in the economy.

1/(1+R), where R represents the quantity of reserves in the economy.

1/(1+R), where R represents the reserve ratio for all banks in the economy.

In the special case of the 100 percent-reserve banking the money multiplier is

1 and banks do not create money.

2 and banks do not create money.

If the reserve ratio is 100 percent, then a new deposit of $500 into a bank account

leaves the size of the money supply unchanged.

eventually increases the money supply by $500.

The quantity theory of money

is a fairly recent addition to economic theory.

argues that inflation is caused by too little money in the economy.

To explain the long-run determinants of the price level and the inflation rate, most economists today rely on the

disequilibrium theory of money and inflation.

When the price level falls, the number of dollars needed to buy a representative basket of goods

decreases, so the value of money rises.

increases, so the value of money rises.

increases, so the value of money falls.

decreases, so the value of money falls.

rises, because the number of dollars needed to buy a representative basket of goods falls.

falls, because the number of dollars needed to buy a representative basket of goods falls.

If P denotes the price of goods and services measured in terms of money, then

the price level but not the interest rate.

increases, so people want to hold more of it.

increases, so people want to hold less of it.

decreases, so people want to hold more of it.

decreases, so people want to hold less of it.

When the money market is drawn with the value of money on the vertical axis, as the price level increases, the value of money

decreases, so the quantity of money demanded increases.

increases, so the quantity of money demanded increases.

increases, so the quantity of money demanded decreases.

decreases, so the quantity of money demanded decreases.

When the money market is drawn with the value of money on the vertical axis, an increase in the price level causes a

shift to the left of the money demand curve.

shift to the right of the money demand curve.

movement to the left along the money demand curve.

movement to the right along the money demand curve.

When the money market is drawn with the value of money on the vertical axis, if the price level is above the equilibrium level, there is an

excess supply of money, so the price level will fall.

excess demand for money, so the price level will rise.

excess demand for money, so the price level will fall.

excess supply of money, so the price level will rise.

When the money market is drawn with the value of money on the vertical axis, if there is a surplus of money then

the value of money falls which will make people desire to hold more money.

the value of money rises which will make people desire to hold more money.

the value of money rises which will make people desire to hold less money.

the value of money falls which will make people desire to hold less money.
