Fractional Reserve System

I.            Demand deposits are created through the fractional reserve system.
II.            FRS is when banks withhold some of their deposits in reserve and not loan it all out.
III.            The cash  kept on hand is required reserves (RR). The cash loaned out is excess reserves.
IV.            Total reserves or Actual reserves (TR or AR)= RR + ER
V.            A single bank can create money by lending out excess reserves
VI.            MM x ER = the new addition of money (+ER would be new total)
VII.            New money
a.      Deposit in a bank comes from a FED, bank purchase of a bond, or other money that's out of circulation. The deposit increases money supply.
b.      The deposit then leads to further expansion of the money supply through the money creation process.
c.       Total change in money supply if the initial deposit is new money is (deposit plus money created by banking system)
d.     ER x MM + RR
VIII.            Existing money
a.      If the money is existing money (m1) then the deposit does not immediately change money supply.
b.       Therefore the change in the money supply is only MM x ER
