True or False and explanation of why:
A. If the real money demand is greater than the real money supply interest rates must rise to reach equilibrium in the money market as institutions sell bonds to obtain more money.
B. The federal government’s control of the money supply, which influences interest rates, is the primary tool that policy makers utilize to impact the macro economy.
C. A decrease in the reserve requirement decreases the money supply because banks have fewer reserves.
D. The real money demand curve shows how households and businesses change their spending in response to changes in the interest rate. Both an increase in the nominal money supply by the Federal Reserve and an increase in the price level will cause the real money supply curve to shift to the right.
