Now assume that the Fed is following a policy of targeting the federal funds rate. What will the Fed do in the situation described in Question 1 to keep the federal funds rate unchanged? Illustrate with a diagram.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

The Fed can only fix the interest rate; otherwise, with the change in demand and supply, the interest rate also fluctuates. Hence, the intervention of the Fed is required to keep the interest rate fixed.
