Suppose the central bank of Economy B wants to increase the dollar money supply with an increase in bank reserves by around $36 billion over a short period of time. Further suppose that a commerical bank in Economy B wants to borrow such an amount from the central bank for nine days by means of a repo agreement with an annualized interest rate of 3.526% p.a. and its $36 billion government securities as collateral. Assume that there are 360 days per year in your calculation. Illustrate with calculations how this transaction would proceed.
