Suppose that a person's yearly income is $60,000. Also suppose that this person's money demand function is given by M = $Y(0.35-i) Suppose that the interest rate is 15%. The percentage change in this person's demand for money if her yearly income falls by 50% is %. Suppose that the interest rate is 10%. The percentage change in this person's demand for money if her yearly income falls by 50% is %. Which of the following statements best describes the effect of income on money demand? O A. any decrease (increase) in income leads to a proportional decrease (increase) in money demand regardless of the interest rate. O B. Any decrease (increase) in income leads to a more than proportional increase (decrease) if money demand is low. O C. Any decrease (increase) in income leads to a less than proportional increase (decrease) if money demand is high. OD. Changes in income do not impact the demand for money.

For a long time, lending money to finance the purchase of taxi medallions was a very good business---almost as good as printing money some said. Over two decades from 1990-2013, the value of a New York City taxi medallion rose 720%, making it a better investment than stocks, oil or gold. Today, the price of those medallions has sharply decreased with the introduction of Uber and Lyft. The New York medallion system limits the number of taxis, but each taxi driver can offer as many rides as he or she can manage. (Now you know why New York taxi drivers are so aggressive!). To simplify our analysis, however, we will assume that a medallion system limits the number of taxi rides that can legally be given to 10 million per year. With the Fare (per ride) on the vertical axis and quantity of rides on the horizontal axis, the following information has been provided: Fare Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied $7.00 6…

(a) Suppose real GDP per person falls during a devastating recession, which in turn causes consumption to fall by 5%. Suppose there are no taxes in this economy. Would giving everyone 5% more income during the recession cause consumption to go up 5%? (b) An individual gets a salary increase from £50,000 to £75,000 per year. The individual saved £10,000 a year before the salary increase and £20,000 a year after the salary increase. Assume there are no taxes, the individual does not borrow, and the individual does not withdraw their savings. Calculate the individual's marginal propensity to consume.

12. Savings decisions Kevin is a postdoctoral fellow who teaches astrophysics at a university where he earns an annual salary of $80,000. He intends to take the next year off to focus on writing a new undergraduate physics textbook, so he will not earn any income next year. He is currently deciding how much of this year's salary he should save for next year. Assume that there are no tax implications associated with the decision, and ignore what happens after next year. Therefore, next year Kevin will consume whatever he saves this year plus interest, and he is not concerned with the future beyond next year. The following graph shows Kevin's preferences for consumption this year and next year. Suppose initially Kevin cannot earn interest on the money he saves. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot Kevin's budget constraint (BC) on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to show his optimum consumption bundle. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend…
Scenario 1: Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. Initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 20%. Now suppose there is a decrease in the tax rate on interest income, from 20% to 15%. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to and the level of investment spending to
Scenario 1: Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow workers to shelter a portion of their income from taxation. Suppose the maximum annual contribution to accounts of this type is $6,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $6,000 to $9,000 per year. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds tofall and the level of investment spending toincrease . Scenario 2: An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital within some relevant time period. Suppose the government implements a new investment tax credit. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. The implementation of the new tax credit causes the interest rate tofall and the level of saving tofall . Scenario 3: Initially, the government's budget is balanced; then…
If the default premium decreases, what is the effect on the consumption and savings of an individual consumer? If the default premium decreases, the individual consumer will her consumption and will her savings.
Compute the two-year nominal interest rate (12) using the exact formula and the approximation formula for each set of assumptions listed in the following tables. The assumptions are in each table's first three columns: they give values for the current one-year interest rate (it), next year's expected one-year interest rate (i+1), and the term premium on a two-year bond (x). Enter your response for the approximate rate as calculated; for the exact rate, round your response to three decimal places. Term Premium 0% 1₁t 2% 1₁t+1 3% Exact int % Approx. 12t %
Q2: Let a consumer’s daily hours of work is denoted by H, and hours of leisure by L. Consumer has no other source of income except wages for hours worked. She consumes what she earns each day. Her utility function is U(C, N) = ln(C) + 3 ln(N) Where C stands for the dollar amount of her consumption. Now answer following questions (a) Suppose the wage rate is 50Rs. per hour. Write down the consumer’s utility function and budget constraint with C and H as the choice variables. (b) How many hours will she choose to work, and what will be the resulting utility?
6. A consumer who lives for two periods has a standard Cobb-Douglas utility func- tion: ule1, c2) = cfc, where c, = consumption in period t and a+ B = 1. Her income in period one is I1 = 500 and I2 = 400, and she can lend or borrow at interest rate r = 0.2. (a) Find the optimal consumption demand. (b) What values of a, if any, makes the consumer a borrower? Interpret this result. (c) Suppose now that a = but that r is no longer 0.2. What values of r, if any, makes the consumer a borrower? Interpret this result.
Consider an economy described by the following equations: Y = C + I + G Y = 6100 G = 1100 T = 1100 C = 1000 + .75(Y - T) I = 1100 - 60r in this economy compute private savings, public savings and national savings Find the equilibrium interest rate Now suppose that G rises to 1200. Compute private savings, public savings and national savings. Find the new equilibrium interest rate.
