Given the following information: - The economy is in the long-run equilibrium. - The Fundamental Equation of Monetarism is true. - The income velocity of money is constant and the money supply is fixed: v=0.15 M=5600 - The production function is Y=F (L,K) = 8×√L×√K - The endowment of resources is given by the input combination (L,K) = (49,25) A. Find the equation of the aggregate demand curve. B. What is the equation of the long-run aggregate supply curve? C. What is the equilibrium price level when the unemployment rate is at NAIRU?
Explain how increases in the real interest rate affect the quantity of real money balanced demanded. (Graphically illustrate)
Consider the following equations describing real money demand: M/P=Y(4-1.5i) 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?
Suppose that the real money demand function is L(Y,r+πe)=0.3Y÷ (r+πe) Where Y is real output, r is the real interest rate, and πe is the expected rate of inflation. Real output is constant over time at Y = 1500. The real interest rate is fixed in the goods market at r = 0.5 per year. Suppose that the nominal money supply is growing at the rate of 10% per year and that this growth rate is expected to persist for ever. Currently, the nominal money supply is M = 400. What are the values of the real money supply and the current price level? (Hint: What is the value of the expected inflation rate that enters the money demand function?). Suppose that the nominal money supply is M = 400. The Bank of Namibia announces that from now on the nominal money supply will grow at the rate of 5% per year. If everyone believes this announcement, and if all markets are in equilibrium, what are the values of real money supply and the current price level? Explain the effects on the…

According to liquidity preference theory, if the price level increases, then the equilibrium interest rate rises and the aggregate quantity of goods demanded rises. rises and the aggregate quantity of goods demanded falls. falls and the aggregate quantity of goods demanded rises. falls and the aggregate quantity of goods demanded falls.
Discuss briefly the liquidity preference theory (LFT) and differentiate it from the loanable funds (classical) model of interest rate determination. Differentiate the equation of demand for real money balances in the Keynesian model based on the LFT from the equation of demand for real money balances in the classical model based on the quantity theory of money, by providing their respective money demand equations.
If the Federal Reserve wanted to offset a cyclical downturn in overall expenditures, it should sell bonds to decrease the money supply thus increasing the interest rates to decrease business investment and therefore decreasing the overall level of expenditures and decreasing the price level. buy bonds to decrease the money supply thus increasing the interest rates to decrease business investment and therefore decreasing the overall level of expenditures and decreasing the price level. sell bonds to increase the money supply thus decreasing the interest rates to increase business investment and therefore increasing the overall level of expenditures and increasing the price level. buy bonds to increase the money supply thus decreasing the interest rates to increase business investment and therefore increasing the overall level of expenditures and increasing the price level.
By using graphs, show and explain each of the following events as either leading to an increase or a decrease in the equilibrium interest rate? d)A sale of government securities by the TCMB f)An increase in the discount rate e)decrease in the level of aggregate output
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?
Assume that the demand for real money balance (M/P) is M/P = 0.6Y-100i, where Y is national income and i is the nominal interest rate (in percent). The real interest rate r is fixed at 3 percent by the investment and saving functions. The expected inflation rate equals the rate of nominal money growth. If Y is 1,000, M is 100, and the growth rate of nominal money is 1 percent, what must i and P be?
