  2007 2008
  Loans 79 100
  Reserves 11 11
  Deposits 247 266
 
  The data show that

  B) the Federal Reserve must have increased the required reserve ratio.
  C) Wells Fargo had excess reserves and could create money in 2007.
  D) Wells Fargo was only able to make more loans in 2008 because it gained more deposits.

Question 2

In the above figure, at any price between 8 per unit to 12 per unit, how many units will a profit-maximizing perfectly competitive firm produce?
 
  A) None, because the producer will never choose to operate at a loss.
  B) Less than 20 because this will reduce marginal cost.
  C) Between 20 and 30, because variable costs are covered so the firm's losses will be minimized by producing rather than shutting down.
  D) More than 30, because variable costs are covered so that the producer can earn economic profits.
