Assume that the money demand function is (M / P) ^ d = 2, 200 - 200r, where r is the interest rate in percent. The money supply M is 2,000 and the price level P is 2. The consumption function is given by C = 200 + 0.5(Y - T) and the investment function is I = 1.000 - 200r , where r is measured in percent , G equals 300, and T equals 200. Calculate the equilibrium level of output. Show the IS-LM equilibrium graphically.
Consider two interest rate levels, and is, and the corresponding total demand curves Z, and Z, in the usual graph. Hint: recall that the usual graph plots the demand curves with demand for goods on the vertical axis and production on the horizontal axis Question: if firms become more sensitive to interest rates in their investment decisions, then..... Select one: a Z, and Z₂ will shift but remain at the same distance. b. Z and Z₂ will shift down by the same amount c. Z and Z₂ will be further apart d.Z, and Z₂ will be nearer
Q4 a) When the demand of output decides how much to produce which type of demand prevails in the economy? B) Why investment is negatively related to interest rate?c) Give the equilibrium in the market for loans?
At its meeting ending on 2 February 2022, The Bank of England (BOE) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted to increase interest rate. Consumers react this rise in the interest: rate and adjust their choices between spending today and spending tomorrow. Suppose that there are two consumers: 1) John is a saver, and he decides to increase his savings after the BOE policy: 2) Lili is a saver, and she decides to decrease her savings after the BoE policy. Use the Life-Cycle Model (LCM) to answer the following questions. a) Draw a diagram to show the optimal choice for John. Explain your answer and your diagram in detail.
Consider an economy described by the following equations: Y = C + I + G Y = 6100 G = 1100 T = 1100 C = 1000 + .75(Y - T) I = 1100 - 60r in this economy compute private savings, public savings and national savings Find the equilibrium interest rate Now suppose that G rises to 1200. Compute private savings, public savings and national savings. Find the new equilibrium interest rate.
Demand Supply Supply Demand LOANABLE FUNDS (Billions of dollars) Scenario 1: Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAS) allow people to shelter some of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to and the level of investment spending to Scenario 2: An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to and the level of investment to Scenario 3: Initially, the government's…

5. The market for loanable funds and government policy The following graph shows the market for loanable funds. For each of the given scenarios, adjust the appropriate curve on the graph to help you complete the questions that follow. Treat each scenario separately by resetting the graph to its original state before examining the effect of each individual scenario. (Note: You will not be graded on any changes you make to the graph.) INTEREST RATE (Percent) I Demand LOANABLE FUNDS (Billions of dollars) Supply Demand Supply *
So far we have assumed that consumption is determined by disposable income (C = C(Y-T), with the function increasing) and investment is determined by the real interest rate (I = I(r), with the function decreasing). But the real interest rate may affect households' choice between consumption and saving, and firms' sales or cash flow may influence their investment. This problem therefore asks you to consider the implications of some alternative assumptions. a. Suppose C = C(Y-T,r), with C a decreasing function of r. With this change in the model, does an increase in G increase C, decrease it, or leave it unchanged, or is it not possible to tell? b. Suppose II(Y-T,r), with I an increasing function of Y-T (and suppose that C is given by C(YT)). Does an increase in G increase I, decrease it, leave it unchanged, or is it not possible to tell? C. Suppose there are two types of investment. One (for example, the investment of large, mature firm) is determined by the real interest rate, and the…

Suppose the incoming Biden administration permanently increases taxes and government purchases by equal amounts. 1)What will be the impact (if any) on output in the short run? 2)What will be the impact on the economy’s normal real interest rate (r*) and normal investment (I*, which is the same as normal saving, S*)?
