The interest rate on reserves is the interest rate that the Fed pays banks for holding reserves on deposit at the Fed. For many years, open market operations were the Fed’s primary tool for monetary policy. However, since October 2008, it relies more on interest on reserves.
A decrease in the interest rate on reserves tends to encourage banks to hold     reserves.

1. The roles of money

Felix wants to both purchase a new laptop and go Florida for spring break. The computer is priced at $1,299, and the vacation is priced at $800. He has only $1,574 in his checking account, so he cannot afford to purchase both. After much thought, Felix buys the laptop and writes a check for $1,299.

Consider two hypothetical states that operate under different laws governing labor unions.
The following graph shows the labor market in a state in the West. Initially, the market-clearing wage in this state is $10.00 per hour.
Now, suppose that the General Assembly in this western state passes a law that makes it easier for workers to join a union. Through collective bargaining, the union negotiates an hourly wage of $12.50.
Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph.
Graph Input Tool
Market for Labor
 
Wage
(Dollars per hour)
 
Labor Demanded
(Thousands of workers)
 
Labor Supplied
(Thousands of workers)
Enter $12.50 into the box labeled Wage on the previous graph.
Hint: Be sure to pay attention to the units used on the graph.
At the union wage,
union workers will be employed.
The following graph shows the labor market in a state in the East. Suppose the legislature in this state passes strong "right-to-work" laws that make it very difficult for unions to organize workers, so the wage is always equal to the market-clearing value. Assume that with the exception of this difference in legislation, the western and eastern states are extremely similar.
The initial position of the graph corresponds to the initial labor market condition in the eastern state before the labor union negotiated the new, higher wage for workers in the western state.
Suppose that after the wage goes up in the western state, some workers in the western state lose their jobs and decide to move to the eastern state.
 Adjust the graph to show what happens to employment and wages in the eastern state.
Which of the following groups are worse off as a result of the union action in the western state? Check all that apply.
