Suppose the Federal Reserve wants to reduce the money supply by $1 billion. Assume that the required reserves are 10 percent of checking deposits, banks hold no excess reserves, and households hold no currency. Explain the specific details of this monetary process when reducing the money supply.

In order to reduce the money supply by $1 billion, the FED needs to sell $100 million in securities.

Explanation:

The total effect on the money supply is given by: money withdrawn from the economy x money multiplier

money multiplier = 1 / required rate of return = 1 / 10% = 10

effect on the economy = -$100 million x 10 = -$1 billion

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
