Bethany Neal · Answer 1

a M1 would not change.

Explanation:

the checkable deposits are part of M1 as well as the currency and coins. Therefore, a component of M1 decrease (currency) while another of M1 (checkable deposits) increase.

As the banking system works with a 100-percent required reserve there is no multiplier effect from the deposit therefore M1 do not change.
