Reserve Requirement 

A. 10% MM: 1/0.1 =10, (100/10) X 600 bn = 6000 bn (total deposit)
money supply = 10 X 6000 bn =60 000 bn 

B. 20% MM: 1/0.2 =5, (100/20) X 600 bn = 3000 bn(total deposit); 
money supply = 5 X 3000 bn =15 000 bn

Answer:

A) If the reserve requirement is 10%:

  • money multiplier = 1 / 10% = 10
  • money supply = money multiplier x total reserves = 10 x $300 = $3,000

B) If the reserve requirement is 20%:

  • money multiplier = 1 / 20% = 5
  • money supply = money multiplier x total reserves = 5 x $300 = $1,500
