Answer to Question 1

In round one, the bank gains 2,000 of reserves which it lends. The next bank receives as a deposit the amount of the loan. The bank keeps 500 as desired reserves and lends 1,500. In round three, the third bank receives the 1,500 in a deposit. It keeps 25 percent, or 375, as desired reserves and lends the rest, 1,125. In round four, the fourth bank receives the 1,125 in a deposit. It keeps 25 percent, 281.25, as desired reserves and lends the remainder, 843.75. Finally in round five, the next bank receives the 843.75 in a deposit. It keeps 210.94 as desired reserves and lends the rest, 632.81.
