University of California Davis Fed Money Market Essay

I’m trying to study for my Economics course and I need some help to understand this question.

Read the above article about Federal Reserve bond purchases. Describe what effect and how these purchases would affect the supply of money in the economy. Describe whether this is a defensive or dynamic open market operation. The article mentions that these purchases are not meant to be stimulus affecting the broader economy. In your opinion is that correct or not? The article mentions that one reason for the purchases is due to corporate tax payments. How would tax payments by corporations affect the banking system and the money supply? How does the Fed’s action affect the market for reserves?
