Answer to Question 1

a. Assets are reserves, loans, and securities. Liabilities are deposits.
b. The excess reserves are 30, equal to the actual reserves of 50 minus the desired reserves of 20 (= 20 percent of 100 of deposits).
c. The bank can use its excess reserves to make loans. When it makes the loan, it will increase the quantity of money.

Answer to Question 2

a. Autonomous consumption expenditure equals the consumption expenditure when disposable income is 0, so autonomous consumption expenditure is 0.8 trillion.
b. The marginal propensity to consume equals 0.80.
