International Gold Standard (19th century): If different countries fix the price of their currencies
e in terms of gold this immediately implies that e are fixed. If the Central Bank of two countries
stand ready to buy and sell gold at a fixed price in terms of their respective domestic currencies,
then there is only one value of e that eliminates the possibility of arbitrage.
Suppose that S100 buys 1 ounce of gold and 100 pounds buys lounce of gold. Under fixed
exchange rates, this implies that IS buys Ipound. Explains what would happen (arbitrageurs' action
and result) if instead e-1S buys 2 pounds

At the end of 2020, the interest over this three-year period at Andover Bank is $

uppose an individual deposits $4,000 into her chequing account, which eventually leads banks to increase cash reserves of $4,000 and initiates $46,000 in additional loans. The target reserve ratio is [blank1]%.
Suppose an individual makes a new deposit of $15,250. If the targeted reserve ratio is 12.5%, calculate the value of new loans generated in the economy.

- Homework (Ch 21) less than the quantity of After the decrease in the price level, the quantity of money demanded at the initial interest rate of 9% will be money supplied by the Fed at this interest rate. People will try to decrease their money holdings. In order to do so, people will buy bonds and other interest-bearing assets, and bond issuers will find that they can offer lower interest rates until the money market reaches its new equilibrium at an interest rate of 6% The following graph shows the economy's aggregate demand curve.

- Bank Three currently has $600 million in transaction deposits on its balance sheet. The Federal Reserve has currently set the reserve requirement at 10 percent of transaction deposits. (LG 4-3) If the Federal Reserve decreases the reserve requirement to 8 percent, show the balance sheet of Bank Three and the Federal Reserve System just before and after the full effect of the reserve requirement change. Assume Bank Three withdraws all excess reserves and gives out loans and that borrowers eventually return all of these funds to Bank Three in the form of transaction deposits. Redo part (a) using a 12 percent reserve requirement.arrow_forwardSuppose that the real money demand function is L(Y,r+πe)=0.3Y÷ (r+πe) Where Y is real output, r is the real interest rate, and πe is the expected rate of inflation. Real output is constant over time at Y = 1500. The real interest rate is fixed in the goods market at r = 0.5 per year. Suppose that the nominal money supply is growing at the rate of 10% per year and that this growth rate is expected to persist for ever. Currently, the nominal money supply is M = 400. What are the values of the real money supply and the current price level? (Hint: What is the value of the expected inflation rate that enters the money demand function?). Suppose that the nominal money supply is M = 400. The Bank of Namibia announces that from now on the nominal money supply will grow at the rate of 5% per year. If everyone believes this announcement, and if all markets are in equilibrium, what are the values of real money supply and the current price level?

Thank you in advance! Imagine that the chair of the Federal Reserve announced that, as of the following day, all currency in circulation in the United States would be worth 10 times its face denomination. For example, a $10 bill would be worth $100; a $100 bill would be worth $1,000; and so forth. Furthermore, the balances in all checking and savings accounts would be multiplied by 10. So, for example, if you had $500 in your checking account, as of the following day your balance would be $5,000. Would you actually be 10 times better off on the day the announcement took effect? Why or why not?arrow_forwardAs part of its efforts to restore confidence in the banking and specialized deposit-taking sectors, the Bank of Ghana embarked on a clean-up exercise in August 2017 to resolve insolvent financial institutions whose continued existence were thought to pose risks to the interest of depositors.

- Suppose the Bank of Canada announces a new targeted overnight interest rate of 7.5%. Express your answer in percentage-terms, rounded to two decimal places. Do not include the percentage-sign in your answer. This means that no commercial bank is willing to pay more than ( ) % to borrow money from another commercial bank. It also implies that no commercial bank is willing to lend money to another commercial bank and receive less than ( )% interest.arrow_forwardThree countries are in a currency union. The countries are identical in that each has the same equilibrium level of output of £50 billion consistent with the same real interest rate of 2%, but each country is currently experiencing a different level of inflation as shown in Table 1. If the central bank for the currency union sets its (nominal) base rate at 7%, which one of the countries is likely to see an increase in its aggregate demand?
