4. III. Credit Expansion Process A. Monetary Base Monetary base = (Federal Reserve notes in circulation) + (Treasury currency issued and held by public) + (Reserve balance outstanding) = (Currency in circulation) + (Reserve balance outstanding). MB = CH + AR.

5. AR = MB - CH.  AR =  MB -  CH.

6. B. Money Supply M1 = D + CH, where D = transactions deposits CH = cash holding.

7. –Cash Holding CH = c × D, where CH = cash holding, c = ratio of cash holding to deposits, and D = transaction deposits.  CH = c  D.

8. –M1 M1 = D + CH = D + c × D = (1 + c) D.  M1 = (1 + c)  D.

9. C. Deposit-Expansion Multiplier No Cash Drain – Reserves AR = RR = r D × D, where AR = actual reserves, RR = required reserves, r D = reserve requirement, and D = transactions deposits.

10. –Multiplier D = AR / r D = (1 / r D ) AR.  D = (1 / r D )  AR where  D = change in transactions deposits, 1 / r D = deposit-expansion multiplier, and  AR = change in actual reserves.

11. With Cash Drain – Reserves  AR =  MB -  CH.

12. –Multiplier  D = (1 / r D )  AR = (1 / r D ) (  MB -  CH). Since  CH = c  D,  D = (1 / r D ) (  MB -  CH) = [1 / (r D +c)]  MB. Let X D MB = 1 / (r D +c).  D = X D MB  MB.

13.  M1 = (1 + c)  D. Since  D = [1 / (r D +c)]  MB,  M1 = [(1 + c) / (r D +c)]  MB. Let X M1 MB = (1 + c) / (r D +c).  M1 = X M1 MB  MB
