Definitions

Monetary Base B
The total number of rupees held by the public as currency and by the banks as reserves B=C+R+E ------(1)
Reserve-deposit ratio
Reserve ratio rr = R/D Excess reserve ratio er = E/D
Currency-deposit ratio cr
Amount of currency C people hold as a fraction of their holdings of Demand deposit D cr = C/D
Derivation
Using equation 1 & 2
M CD ! B CRE
M ! B C C D D R D D D E D
M ! B
cr 1 cr rr er

As money base increases Money supply increases. As rr decreases Money supply increase. As cr decreases Money supply increases
