Scenario 2 Suppose the money demand is given by Md=Yx (0.4-i) where i is the interest rate. Suppose income Y totals 250. 9. Refer to Scenario 2. If the money supply is M³ = 25, what is the equilibrium interest rate? 10. Refer to Scenario 2. Suppose the Federal Reserve just met and decided they would like to decrease the interest rate by 4 percentage points (compared to the equilibrium rate you found in the previous question). What kind of monetary policy should it use, and what would the money supply have to equal to achieve that goal? (Your answer should be two items: first is expansion or contraction, the second is the actual amount the money supply should be.)

(Exhibit: Policy Interaction) Based on the graph, starting from equilibrium at interest rate r income Y, IS), and LM₁, if there is an increase in government spending that shifts the IS curve to IS, then in order to keep the interest rate constant the Federal Reserve should the money supply shifting to A) increase; LM₂ B) decrease; LM₂ IS 9. In the IS-LM model, a decrease in the interest rate would be the result of a(n): A) increase in the money supply. B) increase in government purchases. C) decrease in taxes. D) increase in money demand.

Suppose that economy of Portugal is characterized by the following C = 200 + 0.5 (Y - T) Represents the consumption function I = 600 – 30 r represents the investment function G = 300 represents the public spendingT = 300 represents the level of taxation (m/p)d = y - 40 r represents the money demand function (m/p)s = 1500 r represents the real money supply d Y represents the global output Find the IS curve the LM curve and deduce the equilibrium level of interest rate equilibrium level of income. The government increases the money supply by 100. How does it affect the equilibrium level of income? Justify your answer. Calculate the new equilibrium... Equilibrium level of income
Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium with GDP approaching $23T and the unemployment rate is approaching 4%. Now, let's say that the Fed has decided to decrease the money supply by 6%! The Fed proposes this move by raising the Prime Rate from the current 3.25 to 4.00 and to sell a new trunk or class of 30-year Treasury Bonds. This was not expected! What might be the short and long run effects on the economy as a whole if this were to take place? What happens to the inflation rate? What happens with unemployment? Like I said, this was actually expected that the Fed might take some sort of constriction action to stave off reduce inflation and to strengthen the money supply. However, President Biden, Congress and the Treasury Department had hoped for no contraction of the money supply until 2023.
For the economy described below: C = 2,800+ 0.5(YT) - 8,000r 8,000r IP = 2,000 G = 2,500 NX-0 T = 3,600 a. Suppose that potential output Y* equals 9,080. What real interest rate should the Fed set to bring the economy to full employment? You may take as a given that the multiplier for this economy is 2. Instructions: Enter all your responses as whole numbers. Real rate of interest: % b. Suppose that potential output Y' equals 7,800. What real interest rate should the Fed set to bring the economy to full employment? You may take as given that the multiplier for this economy is 2. Real rate of interest: % c. Show that the real interest rate determined in part a sets national saving equal to planned investment when the economy is at potential output. This result shows that the real interest rate must be consistent with equilibrium in the market for saving when the economy is at full employment. Planned investment P= National saving S=
Suppose government spending increases. True or False: The effect on aggregate demand would be larger if the Federal Reserve held the money supply constant in response than if the Fed were committed to maintaining a fixed interest rate. True False
Question 3: Consider the economy of Ghana. The consumption function is given by C= 400 + 0.8(Y - T). The investment function is I = 600 - 70r. Government purchases is 400. Assume a balanced budget. The money demand function is (MP) = Y - 180r. The money supply Mis 3,000 and the price level P is 3. a. Find the equilibrium interest rate r and the equilibrium level of income Y. b. Suppose that government purchases are increased from 400 to 600. What are the new equilibrium interest rate and level of income? c. Suppose instead that the money supply is increased from 3,000 to 3,500. What are the new equilibrium interest rate and level of income? d. With the initial values for monetary and fiscal policy, suppose that the price level rises from 3 to 5. What are the new equilibrium interest rate and level of income?
Q15 Which of the following statements is consistent with a given (i.e., fixed) LM curve? Select one: a. A reduction in the interest rate causes money demand to decrease. b. A reduction in the interest rate causes investment spending to increase. c. An increase in output causes an increase in demand for goods d. An increase in output causes an increase in money demand.
Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false, and explain why. For each true statement, discuss the impact of monetary and fiscal policy in that special case. a) If money demand does not depend on income, the LM curve is horizontal. b) If money demand is extremely sensitive to the interest rate, the LM curve is horizontal.

Question 3: Suppose that we have the following equations for the output gap and inflation in a closed economy Ý = -0.5-(i--0.02) Draw a graph and show an exogenous shock to money demand. Assume that the inflation target is 2 percent, a' = 0.02 and i = 0.04 so that the output gap is zero and inflation is on target. Suppose now that expected inflation increases to 3 percent: A) What happens to the output gap and inflation if the interest rate is kept unchanged? B) What happens to the output gap and inflation if the interest rate is raised to 5 percent? C) What happens to the output gap and inflation if the interest rate is raised to 6 percent? D) What happens to the output gap and inflation if the interest rate is raised to 7 percent? E) Which of the above alternatives would you recommend?
Consider the following equations describing real money demand: M/P=Y(2-0.5i) So, if output (Y) in the economy is 820 million USD, National bank decide to print (M) 200 million USD and price level (P) is 5, what is equilibrium level of interest rate in the economy?
