What effect does an increase in the money supply have on inflation?
An increase in the money supply shifts the money supply curve to the right. If you look on your graph, you will see that an increase in money supply will cause the interest rate to decrease.

If the demand for money is greater than the supply, interest rates will go up.Whenever the demand for anything is greater than the available supply, the price goes up.

The money supply curve is assumed to be vertical by many textbooks based on the belief that the supply of money is unaffected by the changes in interest rates.
How increasing the money supply affects interest rates?
In general, increasing the money supply will decrease interest rates. Intrest rates reflect the amount paid for the use of money. As the money supply increases, money becomes relatively less scarce and easier to obtain. As with any other good as the supply increases, while demand remains constant, the price will fall. In this case the price of money is the interest rate.

What type of policy does the federal reserve use to counteract an expansion that is causing high interest rates?
According to Economic theory, if the money supply expands, interest rates decrease. All things being equal an expansion in money supply will lead to lower interest rates: 1. Completel Equilibrium (money demanded = money supplied) 2. Monetary expansion (Money demaned < Money supply) 3. Reduce interest rates (increases opportunity cost of savings and so consumers spend more). 4. Money demand = money supply
