Answer:

what is the money multiplier?

  • 5.88

what is the total change in the M1 Money Supply?

  • Just because a client deposits money into a bank it does not increase M1, it just changes its composition. The immediate effect of the deposit in the total money supply is nothing. If the bank loans the money to other clients ($581 in total loans are possible), and other clients deposit the funds in the same bank or other banks, then the money supply could increase up to $3,416.

what is the minimum amount by which the money supply will increase?

  • If the bank loans the disposable funds, the money supply should increase by $581 at least.

Explanation:

The bank's required reserve ratio = reserves / deposits = $493 / $2,900 = 0.17 or 17%.

the money multiplier = 1 / required reserve ratio = 1 / 0.17 = 5.88

if a client deposits $700, the minimum amount by which the money supply will increase = $700 x (1 - required reserve) = $700 x (1 - 0.17) = $700 x 0.83 = $581

the maximum amount by which the money supply could increase = ($700 x 5.88) - $700 = $4,116 - $700 = $3,416
