Answer:
sell bonds, increase discount rates and increase reserve requirements
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve’s three instruments of monetary policy are open market operations, the discount rate and reserve requirements ( Sometimes discount rate management is divided as discount and interest rate) .
Open market operations involve the buying and selling of government securities. The term “open market” means that the Fed doesn’t decide on its own which securities dealers it will do business with on a particular day. Rather, the choice emerges from an “open market” in which the various securities dealers that the Fed does business with – the primary dealers – compete on the basis of price. Open market operations are flexible, and thus, the most frequently used tool of monetary policy.
The discount rate is the interest rate charged by Federal Reserve Banks to depository institutions on short-term loans.
Reserve requirements are the portions of deposits that banks must maintain either in their vaults or on deposit at a Federal Reserve Bank.

Depreciable Account × Current harvest as a percentage of total estimated tons available
(900000-100000)× 70000/200000 = $280,000
