The equation that shows the amount of the monetary base needed to support existing levels of checkable deposits, excess reserves, and currency is
MB = (r × D) + ER + C.
MB = (r + D) + ER + C.
MB = r1+ER+C.
MB = (r × D) − ER − C.
An increase in the monetary base that goes into ______ is not multiplied, while an increase that goes into ______ is multiplied.
deposits; currency
excess reserves; currency
currency; excess reserves
currency; deposits
An increase in the monetary base that goes into currency is ______, while an increase that goes into deposits is ______.
multiplied; multiplied
not multiplied; multiplied
multiplied; not multiplied
not multiplied; not multiplied
If the Fed injects reserves into the banking system and they are held as excess reserves, then the money supply
increases by only the initial increase in reserves.
increases by only one-half the initial increase in reserves.
increases by a multiple of the initial increase in reserves.
does not change.
If the Fed injects reserves into the banking system and they are held as excess reserves, then the monetary base ______ and the money supply ______.
remains unchanged; remains unchanged
remains unchanged; increases
increases; increases
increases; remains unchanged
The formula that links checkable deposits to the monetary base is
m = r+e+c1 .
M = r+e+c1 .
M = r+e+c1+c .
D = r+e+c1 .
D = r+e+c1 × MB.
The formula that links checkable deposits to the money supply is
M=D1+c
M=1+c1×D
D=1+c1×M
D=(1+c)×M
The formula for the M1 money multiplier is
m=(1+c)/(r+e+c)
M=1/(r+e+c)
M=(1+c)/(r+e+c)
m=[1/(r+e+c)]×MB
