16. 15 What is the Potential Money Multiplier? The increase in the money supply that is potentially generated by a change in demand deposits © ©1999 South-Western College Publishing

17. 16 What is the money multiplier with a reserve requirement of 1/10? 10 © ©1999 South-Western College Publishing

18. 17 $100 $90 $81 $74 $63 $1,000 original deposit total money © ©1999 South-Western College Publishing...

19. 18 What is the Money Multiplier formula? 1/Required reserve ratio © ©1999 South-Western College Publishing

20. 19 If the required reserve ratio is 1/10 and all banks hold no excess reserves - how do we calculate the money multiplier? © ©1999 South-Western College Publishing

21. 20 One divided by one tenth equals 10 1 1.. 10 = 1 X 1 = Multiplier 10 © ©1999 South-Western College Publishing 20

22. 21 Does this multiplication process work in reverse? Yes! For every dollar deposit withdrawn from the bank, there is a multiple effect on the money supply © ©1999 South-Western College Publishing
