. Suppose the following conditions currently exist in the economy.
· Demand deposits and other checkable deposits equal $2,000 billion.
· Currency held by the public equals $500 billion.
· The Federal Reserve requires that 3% of deposits below $50 million must be held as reserves while the reserve requirement on deposits above $50 million is 10%. Initially $600 billion is subject to the 3% reserve requirement while the remaining $1,400 billion is subject to the 10% reserve requirement.
· Total reserves equal $250 billion.
(a) Calculate the initial values of the variables listed in the first column and fill in column B.
(b) Suppose the public increases its currency holding from $500 billion to $600 billion by withdrawing an additional $100 billion from their demand deposit accounts. Assume that the withdrawals reduce demand deposits subject to the 3% reserve requirement by $40 billion and that deposits subject to the 10% reserve requirement decrease by $60 billion. Calculate the effects of this change on the variables in the first column and place those values in their appropriate places in column C.
