interest rate available to financially sound banks. To find the primary rate on November 1, 2007. go to the "Primary Rate"
column and the row marked 01-Nov-07" in the Boston column. Write down this interest rate. Next, locate the primary rate
on October 29, 2008 (or "29-Oct-08" in the Boston column). This was the primary rate almost one year later. Write down
this rate. Examine the Interest rates in between these dates.
Click here for the "Primary Rates" spreadsheet.
4) In 1 or 2 sentences, describe the trend (or general direction) in the interest rates between November 1, 2007, and
October 29, 2008, by answering the following questions: Are the interest rates increasing or decreasing? Does the trend
indicate that the Federal Reserve is increasing or decreasing the growth of the money supply during this time?
5) Next, examine consumption, investments, and Gross Domestic Product during 2008 and 2009, using the table below.
