Suppose that the market interest rate in an economy is 9 percent and a bond promises to pay $735 after one year, $858 two years from now, and finally $1410 three years from now. The equilibrium market price of this bond $2485.25. (Round your response to two decimal places.) If this bond were to sell for $1988 in the market, then it is profitable to buy this bond from investors' perspectives. not to buy

Q3. Suppose that the money demand function is given by: Md=$Y (.25-i), where $Y is $100. (a) Derive the bond demand function (B) assuming that wealth is $50. (b) Calculate Md and Bd at interest rates of 5% (use .05) and 10% (use .10). SHOW WORK. (c) How does an increase in the interest rate affect the amount of money people are willing to hold, according to your calculations? How does an increase in the interest rate affect the quantity of bonds people are willing to hold? (d) Suppose the supply of money is currently $20.. Show that the equilibrium interest rate is 5% (.05). (e) Suppose the central bank wants the equilibrium interest rate to rise to 15% (.15). At what level should it set monetary policy? SHOW WORK. What kind of monetary policy (expansionary or contractionary) does this imply?
Question 1 government purchases are 2000. Desired consumption and desired investment are as follows: An economy has full-employment real output of 9000, and Real Interest Rate (%) Desired Consumption Desired Investment 1 6100 1500 1.5 6000 1400 2 5900 1300 2.5 5800 1200 1100 3 5700 In this economy, suppose that the real money demand function is 0.01Y L(Y, r + t®) = r+ne> where Y is real output, r is the real interest rate, and T is the expected rate of inflation. Real output is constant at the full-employment level over time. The real interest rate is fixed in good markets equilibrium per year. a. Interpret the income elasticity of money demand and the interest elasticity of money demand, as well as the real money demand function. b. Suppose that the nominal supply is growing at the rate of 25% per year and this growth rate is expected to persist forever. Currently, the nominal money supply is M-1500. What are the values of the real money supply, the nominal interest rate and the…
Explain two of the channels through which lower interest rates stimulate consumption by households.
Consider the following graph. The IS curve representing the goods market is drawn as the usual downward sloping curve. The ONRRP for May 2023 was 5.05% and the IORB was 5.15%. The effective federal funds rate (EFFR) was 5.08%. Long-term trend output is given by the vertical line at Y*. 5.40 5.30 5.15 5.05 Y* Y-C(Y-TW)+1(Y)+G Y 3. If the current level of the EFFR in the band between IORB and ONRRP causes housing prices to fall, could output fall below trend output? Explain. Illustrate in the graph above.
Consider an economy characterised by: C = 500+ 0.8(Y-T) I = 400 120r +0.1Y G=300 T = 0.25Y L(r, Y) = Y - 300r M/P=600 13 where C, Y, I, G, T, r, L and M/P, denote consumption, output, investment, government spending, taxes, the interest rate, liquidity preferences and the real money supply, respectively. • Derive expressions for the IS and the LM schedules and plot the two curves. . Find the equilibrium interest rate and the equilibrium level of income. Derive the Keynesian multiplier and comment its properties compared to the standard case. . Calculate and interpret the effects on Y and r of an increase of money supply that bring M/P to 1200.
An increase in the expected rate of inflation will the expected return on bonds relative to the that on real assets, and shift the curve to the .
Illustrate graphically the effect the credit market crisis in the United States in 2008 had in the market for existing single-family homes. Assuming the demand for existing single-family homes is relatively inelastic, what is likely to happen to the total revenues of home sellers as a result of the credit market crisis?

Similarly, if d, is small, i.e. if the quantity of money demanded is (sensitive /not very sensitive) to the interest rate, then an increase in income will increase money demand and it requires a (small /large) increase in the interest rate to restore equilibrium in the money market: the LM curve is relatively _(flat /steep). 2. For this question, assume that Y = N. Based on our understanding of the labor market model presented in Chapter 6, we know that a reduction in the markup will cause an/a _ (increase, reduction) in the natural level of output. 3.
