Answer:

Non Borrowed reserves to rise and the Fed Fund Rate to fall

Step-by-step explanation:

An open market purchase is when the Central bank buys securities from banks. This increases money supply, increases the federal funds rate to fall and increases reserves

Borrowed reserves are monies borrowed by banks from the central bank to maintain required reserves.
