Initial Conditions rr/D = .10 C = 500 billion D = 900 billion ER = 0 M = C+D Given the above information (show all work on your exam sheet): i) Calculate the MB. ii) Calculate the money multiplier (mm). iii) What is the money supply (use MS = mm x MB)?

Assume that this is the target for the federal funds rate. Show all work. NOTE: To calculate the market clearing federal funds rate, you first need R. R is made up of required reserves and excess reserves. Here ER=0 so to find Rs, take the value for rr/D and multiply it by the value for D. Then you will be able to solve for the market clearing federal funds rate. In the space on your exam sheet, draw a reserve market diagram depicting exactly what is going on here! Label the equilibrium point as point A. NOTE: This work is to be done using the Exam Sheet 2 Part 2 B _& .
