If the reserve-deposit ratio is less than one, and the monetary base increases by $1 million, then the money supply will

a) increase by $1 million.

b) decrease by $1 million.

c) increase by more than $1 million

d) decrease by more than $1 million.

c) increase by more than $1 million

Explanation:

As the required reverve ratio is les than one the banks will lend a portion of the money whihc is deposits. This makes a multiplication of the amount of money which create through a secondary market (loans) Making possible the increase over a millon,

The reverse ratio goes from zero to one, being one a complete reserve when no loan is possible with the deposits.

C) increase by more than $1 million

Explanation:

The effect that an increase in the monetary base causes on the money supply is given by: change in monetary base x money multiplier

the money multiplier is calculated by dividing 1 over the reserve ratio, so if the reserve ration is less than 1, e.g. 0.5, then the money multiplier will = 1 / 0.5 = 2

Following the example, a $1 million increase in the monetary base will increase the money supply by: $1 million x money multiplier = $1 million x 2 = $2 million.

Since the reserve ratio is lower than 1, then the money multiplier will always be more than 1 (e.g. reserve ratio = 0.99, money multiplier = 1.01), so any increase in the monetary base will cause a larger increase in the money supply.

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
