We want to answer the following questions, assuming that the economy is in a recession.
00:07
The fed decides to buy bonds from the public.
00:09
The first question says, what's the impact of the fed's action on bank reserves? and typically during a time like this, the impact is going to be that there's going to be an increase.
00:23
So bank reserves will increase.
00:29
Second question says, what is the impact of the change in bank reserves on the money supply? so the impact of the change in bank reserves on the money supply is also going to be an increase.
00:45
And for c, as the money supply changes, what direction does the money supply line move? and that is going to be to the right.
00:57
D, the shift in the money supply line results in a new equilibrium with, and we have higher interest rate or lower interest rate.
01:12
And because there's an increase in the money supply, that's going to be a decrease in the interest rate, so we're going to have a lower interest rate.
01:21
Now for this next part, it says draw the money supply and demand curves, labeling the x and y axis.
01:28
So this would be our x axis...
