Federal Reserve problem
Suppose that the Federal Reserve lowers the required reserve ratio from 0.10 to 0.05.
How does this affect the simple money multiplier, assuming that excess reserved are held to zero and there are no currency leakages?
What are the money multipliers for required reserve ratios of 0.15 and 0.20?
