Chapter 18, Problem 1DAP
To determine

The percentage change in non-borrowed reserves and federal funds rate.

Concept:

Non-Borrowed reserves - Under the fractional reserve banking system, the depository institutions have to keep a fraction of their deposits as reserves with the Fed. The remaining deposits are extended as loans. To satisfy these reserve requirements, banks can borrow from the central bank at an interest rate known as the discount rate. Reserves that are not borrowed in this way are non-borrowed reserves. Non-borrowed reserves are equal to total reserves minus borrowed reserves.

Federal Fund rate - It is the interest rate charged for overnight loans of reserves from one bank to the other. As the federal funds rate increases, the opportunity cost of holding excess reserves rises and the quantity of reserves demanded falls.
