Explanation of Solution

The nature of the transaction as the player of money supply process is as follows:

For Federal Reserve: It will have no effect on the transaction.

For Banks: The assets of the banks will be unaffected. The liabilities will rise by the loan of $10,000. There will be a decrease in the reserve assets of $10,000. But, the deposit of $10,000 in another bank increases the reserves. So, the assets and liabilities increase by $10,000 but the reserves do not change.

For depositors: The assets will rise by the purchase of automobile of $10,000 and the liabilities will also rise for the depositor as it is a loan.
