  4. Macro 2 (c) (3) • Assume that the open-market operation that you indicated in part (b) (purchase) is equal to $10 million. If the required reserve ratio is 0.2, calculate the maximum change in loans throughout the banking system. • $40 million

  5. Micro I (c) (4) • (c) Assume … that the government grants a per-unit subsidy to GCR for Aspy (firm w/patent). • (i) What will happen to output and market price? Explain. • MC falls (so P falls and Q increases)

  6. Macro 2 (e) (5 and 10) • Assume that the Federal Reserve’s action results in some inflation. What would be the impact of the open market operation (purchase) on the real rate of interest? • Real rate falls because nominal rate decreases and inflation increases.
