Firstly, you should calculate the prices of your market basket, which basically means multiply all the goods with their prices and then add them together in their respective years. This would give you $260, $440, $690 and $1200 in the years 2010 to 2013 respectively. (follow along by noting everything down)
We see that the base year is 2013, therefore if we want to calculate the inflation rate from 2010 to 2011, we have to calculate their price indices. We do this by dividing the maket basket of our chosen years by the market basket of the base year, therefore the price index of 2010 is $260/$1200, giving us 21.6. The price index of 2011 would be $440/$1200, giving us 36.6. To calculate the inflation rate, you find the difference between your two price indices and divide it by the former year, which would be 36.6 - 21.6 / 21.6 x 100, giving us the inflation rate of 69.2%.
Answer:
A fixed interest rate loan is a loan where the interest rate doesn't fluctuate during the fixed rate period of the loan.

Answer: A. Reserves ↓: Excess reserves ↓; Loans ↓; Deposits ↓; Money supply ↓
Explanation:
The discount rate is the rate at which the Fed lends money to banks and other depository type institutions. Normally banks have a reserve requirement that the Fed requires of them which states how much they are to leave with the Fed as a reserve. Banks tend to fall short of this reserve sometimes and so can borrow from the Fed to balance it off.
If the Fed increase the rate at which these banks can borrow, they will not want to do so thus leaving their Reserves at the Fed lower than it should be. They will then use their excess reserves which is money kept in reserve more than the Fed requires, to balance off their reserve at the Fed.
As a result of this reduction in their Excess reserve, they will have less money to give out as loans. With less loans being made, people will not have as much money to deposit after taking the loans. Money supply will then fall as a whole.
