I will use Apple and HP in this comparison.Here I would compare Apple's laptop to that of Hewlet Packard as this is where they meet in the industry. Apple employs a strategy of differentiation and standing out in competition through their products. They aim to create products that are quite different and unique/innovative from other products in the market, and yet what the customer wants. In doing this, Apple has a trade-off for cost as they charge alot higher for their products than their competitors. HP on the other hand focus on making the best possible products that get the job done/meet the needs of customers while also being affordable.

Answer:
A rise in demand for reserves will shift the demand for reserves curve to the right which will cause a rise in interest rates. The Fed will then have to act to reduce this interest rate because they would prefer that it remained at the specific rate as mentioned.
To do this they will embark on Open Market Operations aimed at increasing money supply as this will reduce interest rates by increasing the supply of reserves because it will shift the supply curve for reserves to the right. The new equilibrium will be a lower interest rate.
The relevant Open Market Operation will be the buying of bonds from the public.
