Unit 4: Withdrawals and the Banking System

  • When a customer deposits cash or withdraws cash from their demand deposit, it has NO EFFECT on Money Supply.

It only changes

  • The composition of money
  • Excess reserves
  • Required reserves 

Single bank (Ex: Chase) 
Can only loan money from excess reserves 

Banking system (Ex: Chase, Wells Fargo)  


Formulas:
ER x Multiplier =  Total Money Supply


  •  When the FED buys or sells bonds, ER is created. Take the number that was bought or sold and multiply it by the multiplier
