Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

If the FOMC decides to increase the money supply, it will direct the trading desk at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to buy U.S. Treasury Securities from the public. When the sellers of these securities deposit the funds from the sale into their banks, the reserves of the banking system will rise. This will start the process of expanding the money supply as the increase in reserves expands loans and checking account deposits. If the FOMC wants to reduce the money supply, it will direct the trading desk to sell U.S. Treasury securities. This will decrease reserves, contract loans, contract checking accounts and shrink the money supply.
