All of the following would tend to make actual deposit creation less than
the theoretical maximum EXCEPT:
a. A desire of banks to delay making loans in expectation of higher interest
rates.
b. A desire of households to maintain a certain fraction of their money
holdings in the form of currency.
c. A desire of households to stash money in safety-deposit boxes.
d. A desire of banks to maximize profits.
e. All of the above would theoretically reduce the amount of deposit
creation.
2.
Assume there is a banking system where all the banks are required to keep
a reserve of 10 percent against their deposit liabilities. Further, assume

b. $10,000.
c. $90,000.
d. $100,000.
e. $900,000.
Case 26-2
The Bank of Canada sells $10 million worth of government securities to an
investment dealer with a cheque drawn on the dealer's account with a chartered
bank. The desired reserve ratio of all banks is 10 percent. Assume all chartered
banks are operating with no excess reserves and there is no cash drain.
3.
