B) ON RRP is decreased → this affects certain nonbank financial institutions that can borrow and lend in the federal funds market AND are paid interest on their deposits with the Fed → this pushes the federal funds rate to the top of the target range → federal funds rate rises into this new range.
C) ON RRP is increased → this affects certain nonbank financial institutions that can borrow and lend in the federal funds market BUT ARE NOT paid interest on their deposits with the Fed → this keeps the federal funds rate above the bottom of the target range → federal funds rate rises into this new range.
D) ON RRP is decreased → this affects certain nonbank financial institutions that can borrow and lend in the federal funds market BUT ARE NOT paid interest on their deposits with the Fed → this keeps the federal funds rate above the bottom of the target range → federal funds rate rises into this new range.
