I have a B.A. in economics, that's definitely what a public good is. BUT... question 58, a fellow econ grad needs to help me out. What is a major effect of a purchase of bonds by the Federal Reserve? A. A reduction in the supply of common stock. B. An increase in the volume of commercial bank loans. C. A decrease in the supply of money. D. An increase in interest rates. E. A decrease in investment spending by businesses. Purchase of bonds by Fed = increase in money supply = increase in interest rates, no? So I thought D. Furthermore, B C & E all seem consistent with a LOWER interest rate. Yet the answer is B? I'm so confused! |
