WEEK SIX ASSIGNMENTS
$12.00WEEK SIX ASSIGNMENTS
Do the following exercises for chapter 15:
A) Money Creation by a Single Bank
1. Given a bank with only the following items on its balance sheet: $4000 of Reserves and $4000 of Deposits. The reserve ratio (R) = .20.
a) List the assets and liabilities on the bank’s balance sheet. What is the amount of excess reserves?
b) What is the maximum amount of loans it can make? List the items on the bank’s balance sheet after it has made these loans (but before any checks on the proceeds of the loans have cleared). By how much has the money supply changed?
c) List the items on the bank’s balance sheet after checks have been drawn on the proceeds of the loans and the checks have cleared.
d) List the items on the bank’s balance sheet (after checks have been drawn and cleared) if it had used its excess reserves to purchase securities rather than make loans.
2. Answer question #1 (parts a through c) if the reserve ratio = .10.B) The Banking System and the Money Multiplier
Assume the balance sheet in question #1 represents the entire banking system rather than a single bank (which means you need to use the money multiplier). What is the maximum amount of deposits and lending that can be supported by the $4000 of reserves in the banking system (R = .20). List the items on the banking system’s balance sheet with this maximum amount of loans and deposits.Do the following exercises for chapter 16:
Open Market Operations

a) List the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the banking system. Can banks make any loans? Explain.
b) The Fed makes an open market purchase of $500 of government securities from the banks. List the items on the banking system’s balance sheet before any lending takes place.
c) List the items on the banking system’s balance sheet after full monetary expansion has taken place (assume the expansion takes place by the banks making loans rather than purchasing securities).
d) If the economy is in recession when this easy money policy takes place, explain how the policy works and what effects it will have on real GDP, employment, and the price level (assume that the size of the open market operation is large enough to affect the economy).2. If the banking system is currently holding the following: $600 of reserves, $2400 of government securities, $3000 of loans, and $6000 of deposits, and the Reserve Ratio = .10:

They expect to have a disposable annual income of $24,000. Their cash flow estimates for the boat purchase are as follows:
Negotiated price of the new boat $70,000 Sales tax rate (applicable to purchase price) 6.5% Boat trade-in 0 Estimated value of new boat in 4 years $40,000 Estimated monthly repair and maintenance $800 Estimated monthly docking fee $500 Using these cash flow estimates, calculate the following:
a. The initial investment
b. Operating cash flow
c. Terminal cash flow
d. Summary of annual cash flow
e. Based on their disposable annual income, what advice would you give Jan and Deana regarding the proposed boat purchase?
Mary has been working for a university for almost 25 years and is now approaching retirement…
$15.00Mary has been working for a university for almost 25 years and is now approaching retirement. She wants to address several financial issues before her retirement and has asked you to help her resolve the situations below. Her assignment to you is to provide a 4-5 page report, addressing each of the following issues separately. You are to show all your calculations and provide a detailed explanation for each issue.
Issue A:
For the last 19 years, Mary has been depositing $500 in her savings account , which has earned 5% per year, compounded annually and is expected to continue paying that amount. Mary will make one more $500 deposit one year from today. If Mary closes the account right after she makes the last deposit, how much will this account be worth at that time?Issue B:
Mary has been working at the university for 25 years, with an excellent record of service. As a result, the board wants to reward her with a bonus to her retirement package. They are offering her $75,000 a year for 20 years, starting one year from her retirement date and each year for 19 years after that date. Mary would prefer a one-time payment the day after she retires. What would this amount be if the appropriate interest rate is 7%?Issue C:
Mary’s replacement is unexpectedly hired away by another school, and Mary is asked to stay in her position for another three years. The board assumes the bonus should stay the same, but Mary knows the present value of her bonus will change. What would be the present value of her deferred annuity?Issue D:
Mary wants to help pay for her granddaughter Beth s education. She has decided to pay for half of the tuition costs at State University, which are now $11,000 per year. Tuition is expected to increase at a rate of 7% per year into the foreseeable future. Beth just had her 12th birthday. Beth plans to start college on her 18th birthday and finish in four years. Mary will make a deposit today and continue making deposits each year until Beth starts college. The account will earn 4% interest, compounded annually. How much must Mary s deposits be each year in order to pay half of Beth s tuition at the beginning of each school each year?Your primary reasons for wanting to participate in this program (draft)

- Basic Business Math:
- A new yarn shop wants to apportion their investment money ($120,000) for advertising, building upgrades, and education in the ratio of 7:8:9. How much money does each category get apportioned?
- CatCo has a new line of kitten starter kits. The basic kit features a sandbox, sand, scooper, three cans of kitten food, and catnip. The exotic kit features the premium self-cleaning sandbox with all natural sand, 6 cases of kitten food, a living catnip plant, and a scratching post tower. The basic kit costs $25 and the exotic kit costs $130. Kitten lovers bought 12 times as many basic kits than exotic kits last month. Last month, both types of starter kit had total sales of $15,480 (this is the total for both items). How many basic kits did CatCo sell? How many exotic kits did CatCo Sell?
- Create an Excel spreadsheet that can be used to calculate your grade in this class. The spreadsheet should include the weights of each graded assignment, your grade in each assignment, and your final grade. To use this for your benefit you may want to design it so that it can be used to calculate your interim grade before you have all the grades.
Use Excel’s built-in functions to build the calculator so that Excel will automatically calculate your grade as you enter your grades during the class. You do not need to enter any grades, just enter the functions.
Use a new sheet called “Grade Calculator” in the same Excel file that you are submitting for this assignment.
After this week you will receive the solution from your professor and you will be able to use our solution for future classes.
- An essential property of concern for any food company that uses a high-speed bottle-filling machine to package their product is the weight of the food product in the individual bottles. If the bottles are under filled, two problems arise. First, customers may not have enough product for their needs. Second, the company may be in violation of the truth-in-labeling laws. In this example, the label weight on the package indicates that, on average, there are 2.5 ounces of product in a bottle. If the average amount of product in a bottle exceeds the label weight, the company is giving away product. Getting an exact amount of product in a bottle is problematic because of variation in the temperature and humidity inside the factory, differences in the density of the product, and the extremely fast filling operation of the machine (approximately 450 bottles per minute). The following table provides the weight in ounces of a sample of 60 bottles produced in one hour by a single machine:

- A well known apple juice production company maintains records concerning the number of unacceptable containers of apple juice obtained from the filling and capping machines. Based on past data, the probability that a container came from machine I and was nonconforming is 0.035 and the probability that a container came from machine II and was nonconforming is 0.02. These probabilities represent the probability of one container out of the total sample having the specified characteristics. Half the containers are filled on machine I and the other half are filled on machine II.
If a filled container of juice is selected at random, what is the probability that it is an acceptable container?
If a filled container of juice is selected at random, what is the probability that it was filled on machine II?
If a filled container of juice is selected at random, what is the probability that it was filled on machine I and is an acceptable container?
