Question:
You live in a world with a universal 8.5% required reserve rate for all depository institutions. Assume the police take the $300,000 found in Whitey Bolger’s walls and deposits the cash back in the banking system (an example of forced “dishoarding”).
A) What will the change in the bank’s T-account look like immediately after the deposit?
B) Assuming the bank wants no excess reserves, what would its T-account look like after it loans out the excess reserves from the first $300,000 deposit?
C) What would be the ending T-account if no bank held excess reserves (following the $300,000 deposit)?
