Using a supply-and-demand graph for the market for money, model
how interest rates would change if the Federal Reserve announced
that it was increasing the required reserve ratio.
If the Federal Reserve decides to lower the reserve ratio through an expansionary monetary policy commercial banks are required to hold less cash on hand and are able to increase the amount of loan to give customers in Businessman this increases the money supply in economic growth and the rate of inflation when the Federal Reserve increases the required reserve ratio the money supply in the economic growth and the rate of inflation goes down.
