The graph shows the demand curve for reserves in the market for bank reserves. The overnight loans rate target is 4 percent. Draw the supply curve of reserves to achieve the overnight loans rate target. Label it. Draw a point at the equilibrium in the market for bank reserves. Choose the statement that is incorrect. A. Bank reserves are costly to hold because they can be loaned in the overnight loans market and earn the overnight loans rate. B. Banks hold reserves so that they can make payments. C. The Bank of Canada's open market operations determine the demand for reserves. D. The higher the overnight loans rate, the smaller is the quantity of reserves demanded.

[Related to the Solved Problem] Use a demand and supply graph for the federal funds market to analyze the following situation. Be sure that your graph clearly shows changes in the equilibrium federal funds rate, changes in the equilibrium level of reserves, and any shifts in the demand and supply curves. Suppose that the Fed decides to increase its target for the federal funds rate from 2% to 2.25%, while also raising the discount rate from 2.5% to 2.75%. Show how the Fed can use open market operations to bring this about. To achieve the desired increase in the federal funds interest rate, the Federal Reserve could seek to sell securities. Using the multipoint curve drawing tool, illustrate your answer by making the appropriate change to the graph. Properly label your curve. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object.
