Explanation:
By definition, open-market operations change the monetary base.

So monetary base will increase by $3 billion.
Answer:
The bond equivalent yield to maturity = 8.52%
The effective annual yield to maturity of the bond = 8.71%
Explanation:
Here, we start with calculating the yield to maturity YTM using the financial calculator
To find the YTM, we need to put the following values in the financial calculator:
N = 20*2 = 40;
PV = -950;
PMT = [8%/2]*1000 = 40;
FV = 1000;
Press CPT, then I/Y, which gives us 4.26
So, Periodic Rate = 4.26%
Bond equivalent yield = Periodic Rate * No. of compounding periods in a year
= 4.26% * 2 = 8.52%
effective annual yield rate = [1 + Periodic Rate]^(No. of compounding periods in a year) - 1
= [1 + 0.0426]^2 - 1 = 1.0871 - 1 = 0.0871, or 8.71%
