Suppose the required reserve ratio is 20 percent, and the fed buys $1 million worth of bonds from the public. if the public deposits this amount into transactions accounts, the money supply will

Increase directly by $1 million and an additional lending capacity of $4 million will be created for the banking system.

Explanation:

The formula for increase in money supply is

Increase in money supply = (1 / Required reserve ratio) * Excess reserve.

Now, we have, required reserve ratio of 20%.

That means, out of $1 million deposit, required reserve = ($1,000,000 * 0.20) = $200,000.

Now, we knew that, Total reserve = required reserve + excess reserve

Total Reserve = $1,000,000 and required reserve = $200,000.

So, Excess reserve = $1,000,000 - $200,000 = $800,000.

Now, Increase in money supply = (1 / 0.20) * $800,000 = $4 million.

That means,

If the public deposits this amount into transactions accounts, the money supply will:

Increase directly by $1 million and an additional lending capacity of $4 million will be created for the banking system.

anyone below or above ambitious can tell you. so crowns mean brainliest. getting brainliest means your answer needs a good explanation and the person asking the question can understand your answer easily. so say there's a multiple choice question. you don't just want to say your answer is a, hope it . provide evidence and reasoning so that they know that that is the correct answer. a good explanation should have evidence, good reasoning, and your opinion on why you picked that. you don't want to look up their question on the internet and see if you can answer it. pick questions that you 100% know the answer to, so than that way you can provide a better explanation.
