The following data have been collected on a patient receiving continuous mechanical ventilation: Time Delivered Vt PIP (cm H20) Pplat (cm H20) Inspiratory flow (L/min) PEEP (cm H20) 1300 600 44 25 40 5 1500 600 52 33 40 5 Which of the following is the best interpretation of these data?  

Given the following information:Savings deposits = $1845b                                                       Demand Deposits = $760bRequired reserve ratio = 10%                                                   Currency in circulation = $520.0bVault Cash = $11b                                                                      Household money market mutual fund = $1753.3bNegotiable Certificates of deposit = $940.0b                        Banking system deposits with the Fed = $88bHousehold money market deposits accounts = $1588b    Non-negotiable Certificates of deposit = $1629bInstitutional money market accounts = $2764b                  Treasury Bills = $222ba.    Calculate the MB.b.   Calculate m1 as illustrated in practice problems. Interpret the multiplier.c.   Calculate M1 using the multiplier method.d.   Check using the definition of M1 method.e.   Repeat parts b-d for M2.f.   Suggest a specific action by the Federal Reserve if the macroeconomic models suggest that a $425 billion dollar decrease       in the M2 money supply is required to bring the economy back to a full employment equilibrium.g.  (Bonus: 6 additional points) recalculate the monetary base, multiplier, and money supply for M2 (using the equation      approach) if households respond to lower interest rates by moving $40b from their savings accounts to their checking account     and shift $164b from their money market deposit account to currency holdings.
