John has nominal wealth of $100,000. He wants to invest his wealth in money (a chequing account) and government bonds such that he invests $50,000 in bonds and $5,000 more in bonds for every percentage point that the interest rate on bonds (i) exceeds that interest rate on his chequing account (i"). 1. Derive an algebraic formula that describes John's nominal demand for bonds (B°)? 2. Derive an algebraic formula to describe John's nominal demand for money (Mª) as a function of bonds and the interest rate on the chequing account. 3. Solve for the sum of John's nominal demand for money and nominal demand for bonds. 4. Suppose that John is a representative consumer of all individuals in the economy, that the fixed asset supplies per person are $80,000 of bonds and $20,000 of chequing accounts, and the chequing accounts do not pay interest. What is the interest rate on bonds at asset market equilibrium? a. Solve using the money market condition. b. Solve using the asset market condition.…

a) Which of the follwing monetary policy actions can be used to close an inflationary gap?O No change in the money supply to keep interest rates constant.ODecrease the money supply to decrease interest rates,OIncrease the money supply to increase interest rates.O Increase the money supply to decrease interest rates.O Decrease the money supply to increase interest rates. b) Assume the economy is initially at full-employment equilibrium. Suppose the economy slows down and uncertainty increases, reducing consumption and investment expenditures, in the short run, this shock willcause the economy to fall below full enployment. To move the economy to a full-employment equilibrium, the Fed could:O. decrease government spendingO. increase corporate tax ratesO. lower the federal fund rate targetO. increase government spending O. raise interest rates
