If the federal funds rate is currently equal to the discount rate,

		a decrease in the interest rate paid on reserves will decrease the federal funds rate.
		an increase in reserve requirements will increase the federal funds rate.
		a large enough decrease in reserve requirements can decrease the federal funds rate.
		An increase in the discount rate will not change the federal funds rate.

rise in the interest rate on reserves

		does not change the demand curve for reserves.
		increases the federal funds rate only if the federal funds rate is lower than the new interest rate on reserves.
		does not change the federal funds rate.
		increases the federal funds rate only if the federal funds rate is equal to the initial interest rate on reserves.

Suppose the federal reserve decreases the required reserve ratio but the federal funds rate stays the same. Which of the following is false?

		The supply of reserves intersect the demand for reserves at the horizontal portion of the demand for reserves.
		If the required reserve ratio keeps decreasing, the federal funds rate might start to decrease.
		The demand for reserves intersect the supply of reserves at the horizontal portion of the supply of reserves.

If a decrease in discount rate does not affect the federal funds rate,
