Suppose the Federal Reserve conducts an open market purchase from a bank for $300 million. Assuming the required reserve ratio is 10%, what would be the effect on the money supply in each of the following situations? If there are many banks, all of which make loans for the full amount of their excess reserves, the money supply will increase by $ million. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
The interest rate on reserves is the interest rate that the Fed pays banks for holding reserves on deposit at the Fed. For many years, open market operations were the Fed’s primary tool for monetary policy. However, since October 2008, it relies more on interest on reserves. A decrease in the interest rate on reserves tends to (decrease or increase)  the reserve ratio, (decreases or increases) the money multiplier, and (decrease or increase) the money supply.
The following graph represents the money market for some hypothetical economy. This economy is similar to the United States in the sense that it has a central bank called the Fed, but a major difference is that this economy is closed (and therefore does not have any interaction with other world economies). The money market is currently in equilibrium at an interest rate of 3% and a quantity of money equal to $0.4 trillion, designated on the graph by the grey star symbol. Suppose the Fed announces that it is raising its target interest rate by 75 basis points, or 0.75 percentage points. To do this, the Fed will use open-market operations to  (increase/decrease)  the   (demand for/supply for) money by (buying bonds from/selling bonds to) the public. Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the previous graph to illustrate the effects of this policy by placing the new money supply curve (MS) in the correct location. Place the black point (plus symbol) at the new equilibrium interest rate…
