Assume that the demand for real money balance (M / P) is M / P = 0.8Y – 200i, where Y is national income, and i is the nominal interest rate (in percent). The real interest rate r is fixed at 5 percent by the investment and saving functions. The expected inflation rate equals the rate of nominal money growth. If Y is 2,500, P is 1.2, and the growth rate of nominal money is 2 percent, what must i and M be? Show all your work, show formula used and explain why.

Assume that the demand for real money balance (M/P) is M/P = 0.6Y-100i, where Y is national income and i is the nominal interest rate (in percent). The real interest rate r is fixed at 3 percent by the investment and saving functions. The expected inflation rate equals the rate of nominal money growth. If Y is 1,000, M is 100, and the growth rate of nominal money is 1 percent, what must i and P be?
Suppose that the real money demand function is L(Y,r+πe)=0.3Y÷ (r+πe) Where Y is real output, r is the real interest rate, and πe is the expected rate of inflation. Real output is constant over time at Y = 1500. The real interest rate is fixed in the goods market at r = 0.5 per year. Suppose that the nominal money supply is growing at the rate of 10% per year and that this growth rate is expected to persist for ever. Currently, the nominal money supply is M = 400. What are the values of the real money supply and the current price level? (Hint: What is the value of the expected inflation rate that enters the money demand function?). Suppose that the nominal money supply is M = 400. The Bank of Namibia announces that from now on the nominal money supply will grow at the rate of 5% per year. If everyone believes this announcement, and if all markets are in equilibrium, what are the values of real money supply and the current price level? Explain the effects on the…
Assume the money demand function for this economy is a function of income (Y) and a constant (k) in the following way: Demand for Money = kY In 2015, real money balances were .............. This implies that people want to hold ............. of every euro of income in the form of money.
In an economy, the money supply growth rate is 5.0%, the equilibrium real interest rate is 1.5%, the potential growth rate is 4.0%, the economic growth rate is 1.0%, the inflation rate is 3.0%, the unemployment rate is 4.5%, and the rate of increase in the circulation speed is -2%. In this case, in an economy that pursues an inflation target of 2.0%, what is the appropriate interest rate target based on Taylor's rule?

A standard "money demand" function used by macroeconomists has the form In(m) = Po + B₁In(GDP) + B₂R, Where m is the quantity of (real) money, GDP is the value of (real) gross domestic product, and R is the value of the nominal interest rate measured in percent per year. Supposed that B₁ = 2.32 and B₂ = -0.02. What is the expected change in m if GDP increases by 9%? The value of m is expected to by approximately %. (Round your response to the nearest integer)
When nominal interest rates on financial assets are low, the opportunity cost of holding money is ________, so the quantity of money demanded by households and firms will be ________.
Suppose the interest rate that banks in Techland charge one another for overnight loans is 5 percent, the long-term nominal interest rate is 4.5 percent, and the long-term expected inflation rate is 3 percent. What is the long-term expected real interest rate? How will the long-term expected real interest rate be affected if the central bank of Techland starts purchasing government bonds from banks?
Suppose Singsville National Bank lends money to Ari at 1.5% interest. If inflation is 1%, calculate the real interest rate that Ari pays for the loan.Did Singsville National Bank lose or earn money in this exchange?
C= 100 + 0.5 - (Y – Ť) I = 200 – 1000 - r where Y is real output and r is the real interest rate. Government purchases and taxes are Ğ = 300, T= 200. The LM (money market equilibrium) curve is Y 10i where P is the price level and i is the nominal interest rate. The Central Bank (CB) is initially supplying M = 2000 units of money, and expected inflation is a = 0.02. Assume that the long-run equilibrium level of output is Y = 1000. Short-run equilibrium output is initially at the same level (Y = 1000). Suddenly, news of a new world-beating super-vaccine raises the investment function to I = 250 – 1000 - r Question 4 The CB wants to use open market operations to reduce M. Explain what it would have to do, and what would happen to the monetary base B. What would happen to the nominal interest rate i in the short-run? How is it related to bond prices? Question 5 After everyone is vaccinated, suppose that consumers suddenly withdraw all their checking deposits and start preferring cash…

Consider an economy with constant nominal money supply M=100, constant real output Y = 100, and constant real interest rate r = 0.1. Suppose that the income elasticity of money demand is 0.5 and the interest rate elasticity of money demand is -0.1. Also assume that expected inflation is zero and does not change (ne = 0). This implies that the nominal interest rate is equal to the real interest rate. By what percentage does the equilibrium price level differ from its initial value if output increases to Y = 120, money supply doubles but r remains at 0.1? O A. 90% О В. 50% О С. 3% O D. 0.9%
