$0.25 in time deposits. For each dollar of deposits created, $0.04
finds its way outside the domestic banking system. Depository
institutions plan to keep $0.10 in excess reserves for each dollar
of transaction money received. Reserve requirements on transaction
deposits and time and savings deposits are 8 percent and 4 percent,
respectively. Suppose $3.75 million in new excess reserves appear
in the banking system. What is the effect on the money supply?
