Answer to Question 2

Though reserve requirement change can be very powerful tool for controlling supply of money it is seldom used. This is because a small reduction in the reserve requirement can make a huge change in the number of dollars that are in excess reserves in banks all over the country which can disrupt the whole economy. Frequent changes in the reserve requirement would also make it difficult for banks to plan.
