A. Please use the supply and demand model for reserves (as in the video in Module 10 and in the textbook), to show on the graph how a decrease in reserve demand by banks can be met by an open market operation to keep the fed funds rate at the target level. (16 points) B. State in words what the Open Market Trading Desk should do (buy or sell US Treasury bonds) to offset the decrease in demand for reserve by banks.

Check the video for all details and similar examples].
