A bank currently has $70,000 in deposits, $6,000 in cash in the vault, $12,000 on deposit with the Fed, and $7,000 in government securities. The required reserve ratio is 20 percent. Answer these questions:

3) What is the maximum amount the money supply can increase as a result of the $750,000 deposit?
4) If these expansions in the money supply happen, what effect will it have on aggregate demand, GDP, and employment?
