5. Changes in the money supply The following graph represents the money market in a hypothetical economy. As in the United States, this economy has a central bank called the Fed, but unlike in the United States, the economy is closed (that is, the economy does not interact with other economies in the world). The money market is currently in equilibrium at an interest rate of 6% and a quantity of money equal to $0.4 trillion, as indicated by the grey star. INTEREST RATE (Percent) 8.0 7.5 7.0 6.5 6.0 5.5 5.0 4.5 4.0 0 Money Demand + 0.1 Money Supply 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 MONEY (Trillions of dollars) 0.6 0.7 0.8 New MS Curve New Equilibrium ?

51) What is the impact on interest rates when the Federal Reserve decreases the money supply by selling bonds to the public? 52)  Use demand and supply analysis to explain why an expectation of Fed rate hikes would cause Treasury prices to fall. 5.4   Supply and Demand in the Market for Money:  The Liquidity Preference Framework 1) In Keynes's liquidity preference framework, individuals are assumed to hold their wealth intwo forms: A) real assets and financial assets. B) stocks and bonds. C) money and bonds. D) money and gold. 2) In Keynes's liquidity preference framework, A) the demand for bonds must equal the supply of money. B) the demand for money must equal the supply of bonds. C) an excess demand of bonds implies an excess demand for money. D) an excess supply of bonds implies an excess demand for money. 3) In Keynes's liquidity preference framework, if there is excess demand for money, there is…

The following graph shows the money market in equilibrium at an interest rate of 7.5% and a quantity of money equal to $60 billion. Show the impact of the increase in government purchases on the interest rate by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph. 15.0 Money Supply Money Demand 0 Money Supply 12.5 10.0 INTEREST RATE 5 5.0 25 0 0 20 Money Demand 40 60 80 100 MONEY (Billions of dollars) 120

Question 3 In the market for reserves, suppose that the federal funds rate and discount rate are both at 7%. If the Federal Reserve Bank sells securities in the open market, then the equilibrium rate for reserves will and the amount of borrowed reserves will O not change; decrease O not change; increase O rise; increase O rise; decrease Question 4 When the Federal Reserve Bank lowers the reserve requirements for commercial banks in the economy, this causes the curve for reserves to decrease and so the curve shifts to the ----- O demand; right O demand: left O supply; right O supply; left

8. Consider a hypothetical economy with a nominal GDP of $1.2 trillion, real GDP of $600 billion, and money supply of $60 billion. Suppose commercial banks are required to maintain a reserve requirement of 10% of deposits. Assume that banks do not hold excess reserves. a) Calculate the money multiplier for this economy. If the central bank buys $1 billion of government bonds, what is the effect on money supply? Show your work. b) Using the quantity theory of money, calculate the price level and the velocity of money for this economy prior to central bank action. Show your work. c) Assume that velocity is constant and real GDP increases by 2% each year. What will happen to nominal GDP and the price level next year if money supply does not change? Show your work. d) In (c), what money supply should the central bank set next year to keep the price level unchanged? Show your work. e) In (c), what money supply should the central bank set next year if it wants inflation of 5%? Show your…

As a result of the Fed's sale of $3,000 worth of government securities to First Main Street Bank, the bank becomes reserve deficient. Suppose that Nick, a First Main Street Bank's customer, re-pays back the $3,000 loan he took out a few months ago. STEP: 2 of 3 Which of the following most accurately describes First Main Street Bank's actions? The bank keeps the $3,000 as reserves. The bank creates a $42,000 loan. The bank keeps the $450 as reserves. The bank creates a $3,000 loan. The money supply in the economy is $

In the situation depicted above, an increase in the money supply from $100 billion to $150 billion will cause the equilibrium rate of interest to:   Group of answer choices   a)Decrease from 4 percent to 2 percent.   b)Increase from 2 percent to 4 percent.   c)Decrease from 6 percent to 2 percent.   d)Increase from 4 percent to 6 percent.   e)Decrease from 6 percent to 4 percent.

The following graph shows a hypothetical demand function for federal funds . Currently , the total amount of reserves in the banking system is $ 50 billion , the discount rate is 3.5 percent , and interest on reserves equals IOR = 1 percent . If the Fed reduces the discount rate to 3.00 percent , the equilibrium federal funds rate ( FFR ) will equal :   O a . FFR 3.00%   O b . FFR = 2.50%   O c . FFR = 2.00%   O d . FFR 1.50% O e . None of the above.
