If the Fed wanted to increase the money supply, it could increase the interest rate it pays banks on their excess reserves. b. When the Fed reduces the interest rate paid on excess reserves, it increases the incentive of commercial banks to hold excess reserves. c. If the Fed wanted to decrease the money supply, it could increase the interest rate paid on excess reserves. d. When the Fed increases the interest rate it pays on excess reserves, this encourages banks to extend more loans and thereby increase the money supply. 21.

Why is there more than one definition of the money supply? What is the difference between them? 25. What are the advantages of a fractional reserve banking system compared to a system that requires 100 percent of deposits to be kept on reserve? 26. You deposit a $1,000 scholarship check in the bank. If the required reserve ratio is 10 percent, explain how the banking system will create new money and how much money can potentially be created. 27. Does the Federal Reserve operate like an ordinary commercial bank? What is the Fed's job? 28. Explain how the Fed would use its four tools to decrease and to increase the money supply. 29. How do changes in open market operations alter the monetary base, and how do changes in the monetary base translate to changes in the money supply? 30. What is the difference between the Treasury and the Federal Reserve? Is there any difference in the effect on the money supply between the sale of bonds by the Treasury and the sale of bonds by the Fed?
