A

this will cause the assets and the liabilities of the bank of canada to increase by 100m on each side because the bank of canada would gain assets of 100m from the purchase of the bonds, and would gain liabilities of 100m from the bank depositing the 100m from the sale of the bonds in to the bank account TD holds with the bank of canada and increase the reserves of the bank of Canada by 100m

the bank would lose 100m in securities due to the sale of their bonds, but they would also have the gain of 100m of reserves from the cash from the sale of the bonds

44
Q

if the bank of canada purchases 100m worth of bonds from TD, and pays them with a 100m cheque, how will that impact monetary base?

A

the net result would cause reserves of the bank of canada to increase by 100m, no change in currency circulation, causing the reserves in monetary base to rise by 100m and causing monetary base to rise in 100m

45
Q

how will a rise in BoC reserves, and monetary base impact money supply?

A

it will eventually cause M1 to increase because the bank of canada reserves will increase the amount that banks can lend out

46
Q

if the bank of canada sells 100m worth of bonds, how will that impact the banking system?

A

if they sell 100m worth of bonds the assets of the bank of Canada would go down by 100m because they sold the bonds to TD and their reserves would go down because they would take 100m out of TDs account to pay for the bonds and removing 10m from the bank of Canadas reserves

TDs assets will gain 100m of securities and they would lose 100m worth of reserves to pay for the bonds

47
Q

if the bank of Canada sells 100m worth of bonds to TD, how will that impact monetary base?

A

it will cause the reserves of the bank of Canada to go down by 100m it will cause monetary base to decrease by the same amount of the sale

48
Q

when reserves decrease, how does that impact the overnight rate?

A

the overnight rate increases

49
Q

52
Q

the bank of Canadas assets increase by 100m from the loan, the bank of canada reserves increase by 100m because TD would deposit that loan in the their account they hold at the bank of Canada

TDs assets would increase their reserves by 100m from the loan and their liabilities would increase by 100m from the loan that they have to pay back

53
Q

A

the banking system loses 100m in depots and 100m in reserves but they gain 100m in currency in circulation

55
Q

if a non-bank withdraws 100m in cash, how will that impact monetary base?

A

monetary base will not change, the withdrawal decreases reserves by 100m and the cash withdrawn increase the currency in circulation by 100m, this causes each other to cancel out causing no change

56
Q

if TD withdraws 100m in cash, how will that impact the bank of canada?

A

it will cause their liability to increase by 100m because of the new currency in circulation and cause their liability to decrease by 100m because their reserves decreases due to the money being takin out and in circulation, causing no changing to monetary base

how does open market purchase impact M1?

A

first national bank get 100M from the bank of canada due to open market operations, they loan (loans +100M) that money out causing chequable deposits (liabilities) at first national bank to increase because that loaned out money goes in to the bank accounts of the account holders at the bank

after they money is loaned out to their customers, their customers would use that money until first national banks deposits get to 0, that money would make its way to another bank, then that bank would get 100M of chequable deposits, making 10m reserves and 90 loans, this process would go on creating more and more chequable deposits until nothing is left. causing the money multiplier

65
Q

what is the formula for deposit multiplier?

A

change D= 1/rd X change R

R= change in chequable deposits

66
Q

what are 3 critiques of the simple deposit multiplier model?

A

holding cash stops the process, since currency does not have multiple deposit expansion

banks may not use all of their excess reserves to make loans or buy securities

depositors decisions of how much currency to hold and the banks decisions of how much excess reserves also cause the money supply to change

67

A

changes in the non-borrowed monetary base (open market operations)

A

they are negatively related, when excess reserves go up money supply goes down

72
Q

A

they are negatively related, when currency holdings increase money supply decreases

73
Q

what is the money multiplier?

A

a formula that is used to tell us how much the money supply changes for a given change in monetary base

74
Q

what is the relationship between money supply and monetary base?

A

money supply= money multiplier X monetary base

75
Q

what is “c”?

A

currency ratio, currency/ chequable deposits

76
Q

what is “e”?

A

excess reseve ratio, excess reserves/ chequable deposits

77
Q

what is “R”?

A

total amount of reserves, = desired reserves+excess reserves

78
Q

what is “DR”?

A

deserted reserves, reserve ratio X chequable deposits

79
Q

what is the formula for monetary base?

A

MB= reserves +currency

MB= (reserve ratio X chequalbe deposits) + excess reserves + currency

80
Q

what is the formula for money multiplier?

A

m= 1+c / rd+e+c

81
Q

suppose,
desired reserve ratio: 10%
currency in circulation= 400 B
chequable deposit= 800B
excess reserves= 0.8B
money supply= 1200 B
currency ratio=0.5
excess reserve ratio= 0.001

what is the money multiplier?

A

m= 1+.05 / 0.1+0.001+0.5= 2.5

meaning that a 1 dollar increase in monetary base leads to a 2.5 dollar increase in the money supply

82
Q

if the money multiplier is 2.5, and the monetary base increase by one dollar, how much will money supply increase?

A

a 1 dollar increase in monetary base leads to a 2.5 dollar increase in the money supply

83
Q

if the first national bank receives an extra $100 of reservers but decides not to lend out any of these reserves. how much deposit creation takes place for the entire banking system?

Q

if a bank depositor withdraws 1000 of currency from an account and holds it, what happens to reserves, chequable deposits and the monetary base?

A

reserves goes down 1000$ from the withdrawal
chequable deposits goes down 1000$

monetary base stays the same, currency goes up 1000 but reserves goes down 1000 so it levels out

85

A
89
Q

“the money multiplier is necessarily greater than 1” true or false?

A

false, its normally less than 1

90
Q

assuming the banks do not hold excess reserve. if reserves in the banking system increase by 100, then checkable deposits will increase by 500 in the simple model of deposit creation what is the desired reserve ratio?

A

0.2

91
Q

a bank has excess reservers of 4000 and demand deposit liabilities of 100,000 when the desires reserve ratio is 20%. if the desired reserve ratio is raised to 25%, what will the banks excess reserves be?

A

-1000 because they will have less than the requires reserves and 0 excess reserves

92
Q

assuming the banks do not hold excess reserves. when the monetary base is equal to 200 B, the desired reserve ratio his 0.1 and the currency ratio is 0.2. what is the money multiplier and money supply?

A

money multiplier= 4
money supply= 800B
