Question

The FED has recently decided to reverse the massive buildup of its holding of 
Treasury and mortgage bonds. Thus, they began to sell these Treasury 
securities in the financial markets to remove liquidity from them and reduce 
the supply of money and credit in the economy.  This will create a shortage in 
the money market.  

(Q# 8a) Each time the FED now sells a large tranche (amount)
of treasury
and mortgage bonds, what impact will this have on the money
market
directly after the supply of money has decreased – in the
immediate "run"?
[a] a surplus will be created in the money market
[b] a shortage will be created in the money market
[Q#8b] As a result of the outcome from the previous question,
what was
true in the money market?
[a] the prevailing interest will be too high and an equilibrium
balance will
be restored by a reduction in the interest rate through
time
[b] the prevailing interest will too low and an equilibrium
balance will be
restored by an increase in the interest rate through time
