    a. Money multiplier = 1/R, where R is reserve ratio (given, 8% = 0.08) So, money multiplier = 1/0.08 = 12.5 (which has 1 decimal place) b. Change in money supply = change in amount * money multiplier = - $70 M * 12.5 = - $875 million (negative sign indicates decrease in money supply) c. Required increase in reserve = (Required increase in money supply) / (money multiplier) = $400M/12.5 = $32 million So, amount of $32 million should be increased to achieve the goal
