    Knowing that the economy of Elmendyn contains 2,000 $1 bills:

    A. If people held all money as currency, the money is circulated in the economy. The quantity of money would be $ 2000.

    B. If people hold all money as demand deposits, and banks maintain 100 percent reserves, the quantity of money will still be $ 2000. Demand deposit is an account that lets you withdraw without further notice. A bank reserve is the currency that the bank does not lend to the public. In this situation, the money circulating in the economy is $ 2000.

    C. If people hold equal amounts of currency and demand deposits, and banks maintain 100 percent reserves, the quantity of money is $ 2000. In this situation, the currency is $1000 and the demand deposit is another $1000. With this the total amount of money circulating in the economy is $ 2000.

    D. If people hold all money as demand deposits and banks maintain a reserve ratio of 10 percent, the answer is $20 000. The calculation can be done through this:

    10 x (2,000 - C) = D

    When all money is held as a deposit, there is no currency (C=0)

    So 10 x (2,000 - 0) = D

    D = $20,000

    E. If people hold equal amounts of currency and demand deposits and banks maintain a reserve ratio of 10 percent, the quantity of money is $3,636. In this situation, it is given that the amount of currency is equal to the amount of demand deposit.

    So the calculation is this:

    10 x (2,000-C) = D

    10 x (2,000-D) = D

    $20,000 - 10D = D

    $20,000 = 11D

    1,818=D

    Since C=D, C is also 1,818

    C+D = $3,636
