If the currency in circulation is $500 billion, the required reserve ratio is 5 percent, checkable deposits are $700 billion, and excess reserves total $10 billion, then the money multiplier for the M1 is

2.35

Explanation:

The computation of the money multiplier for the M1 is shown below:

As we know that

Money supply(M1) = Currency in circulation + Checkable deposits

M1 money supply is = $500 billion + $700 billion

= $1,200 billion  

Now the M1 money multiplier is  

We know that  

Money multiplier = Money supply ÷ Monetary base

where,

Monetary base = Currency in circulation + Bank excess reserves

 = $500 billion + $10 billion

= $510 billion  

We know that,

Money multiplier = Money supply ÷ Monetary base

= $1,200 ÷ $510

= 2.35

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
