<u>Answer:</u>

Federal bank increase initial reserves (by purchase of government bonds) by $8 million, to increase money supply by $40 million

<u>Explanation:</u>

Open market operations refer to buying 7 selling of government securities, to regulate money supply. To increase money supply, central bank buys the government bonds. As, purchase transaction from commercial bank or public imply they have more liquid money supplied.

Money multiplier reflects the multiple change in total money deposits, due to increase in initial deposits.

Final Deposits = (1 / RR) x Initial Deposits; where RR =  Reserve requirement

Needed increase in money supply = 40 million, Reserve requirement = 20%

40 = 5 x Initial Deposits

Initial Deposits = 40 / 5

Initial deposits = 8

RideAnS [48]

"A copywriter at an ad agency writes detailed copy for Internet advertisements. It is an intense, grueling job—the copywriter usually writes copy for up to 50 ads a day. Although he received little feedback, he feels pride in his work and continues to be motivated to do a good job."

"An environmental engineer working for a solar panel company runs experiments determining the capacity of smaller solar panels made out of different types of materials. She submits her results to her supervisor along with her opinion on the economic value of each type of panel but is not informed if her work results in products that are successfully sold in the market."

These employee behavior confirm the theories of Elton Mayo
