a. Demand for loans will increase if interest rates are reduced (some customers will remain loyal but others will take the opportunity of the lower rates). b. Supply of deposits will increase if interest rates are increased (some customers will remain loyal but others will take the opportunity of the higher rates). c. If loan demand exceeds available funds (from deposits, CDs and equity), the program will force banks to borrow from the central bank through the discount window advances at a penalty rate. d.
