Answer to Question 1

The simple deposit multiplier is equal to (1/required reserve ratio). In this case it is 1/0.2 = 5. Since the deposit multiplier is 5, then an increase in deposits in the banking system is equal to the multiplier times the initial deposit. This is 5  50,000 = 250,000. To find the change in the money supply, we must then subtract the initial deposit because cash held by the public declines by the size of the initial deposit. Thus the change in the money supply is 250,000 - 50,000 = 200,000.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
