3. Answer the following numerical questions about the IS-FX model. a. The consumption function is C = 1.5 + 0.5(Y – T). What is the marginal propensity to consume? What is the marginal propensity to save? b. The trade balance is TB = 5(1 – 1/E) – 0.2(Y – 8). What is the marginal propensity to consume foreign goods? What is the marginal propensity to consume home goods? c. The investment function is I = 3 – 10i. What is investment when the interest rate i is equal to 5%? d. Assume government spending is G. Add up the four components of demand and write down the expression for D. e. Assume forex market equilibrium is given by I = (1/E – 1) + 0.15, where the two foreign return terms on the right are expected depreciation and the foreign interest rate. What is the foreign interest rate? What is the expected future exchange rate?
