When the Federal Reserve sells $40,000 in Treasury bonds to a bank, it decreases the money supply by that amount. The bank pays for the bonds using its reserves, which reduces the reserves available for lending. Consequently, this action tightens the money supply, as there is less money available in the banking system for loans and other transactions. The interest rate of 5% is relevant for future borrowing but does not directly affect the immediate change in the money supply from this transaction.

Treasury bonds influence the size of the money supply primarily through their impact on interest rates and the banking system's reserve levels. When the government issues bonds, it absorbs cash from the economy, reducing the available money supply. Conversely, when the Federal Reserve buys bonds in the open market, it injects liquidity into the financial system, increasing the money supply. Thus, the buying and selling of treasury bonds directly affect monetary policy and overall economic liquidity.
