Federal Funds Rale The graph to the right illustrates how the Fed uses discounting to keep the federal funds rate from rising far above the federal funds target. It shows a rightward shift of the demand curve for reserves from R to R. The initial equilibrium is at point 1, where the discount rate (a) is above the federal funds rate, which is equal to its target level, i. The shift moves the equilibrium to point 2, where the federal funds rate equals the discount rate ( =l4). According to this graph, at point 2, borrowed reserves are: !3! A. equal to the distance between B and C. B. equal to the distance between A and B. C. equal to the distance between A and C D. zero.
