Answer:

increase in money supply by $50 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

required reserve ratio is the ratio of deposits that banks must keep with the central bank as reserves.

If the FED buys securities money supply would increase.

change in money supply = amount / required reserve ratio

= $5 billion / 0.1 = $50 billion
