Explain what will happen to the money multiplier process if there is an increase in the reserve requirement? O A. An increase in the reserve requirement means that banks will be less likely to have your money when you demand it, but it would increase the money multiplier OB. An increase in the reserve requirement means that banks will be more likely to have your money when you demand it, increasing the money multiplier OC. Since a greater portion of each deposit is being lent out, the multiplier will increase. This means more loans lent and more economic growth. OD. Since a smaller portion of each deposit is being lent out, the multiplier will decrease. This means fewer loans lent and less economic growth.

The price level is . and the velocity of money is Suppose that velocity is constant and the economy's output of goods and services rises by 4 percent each year. Use this information to answer the questions that follow. ar the Fed keeps the money supply constant, the price level will and nominal GDP will True or False: If the Fed wants to keep the price level stable instead, it should decrease the money supply by 4% next year. True False Ir the Fed wants an inflation rate of 10 percent instead, it should the money supply by (Hint: The quantity equation can be rewritten as the following percentage change formula: (Percentage Change in M) + (Percentage Change in V) = (Percentage Change in P) + (Percentage Change in .)
