The demand curve and supply curve for one-year discount bonds with a face value of $1,030 are represented by the following equations: Bd. Price = - 0.8Quantity +1,160 BS: Price = Quantity + 690 Suppose that, as a result of monetary policy actions, the Federal Reserve sells 110 bonds that it holds. Assume that bond demand and money demand are held constant. Which of the following statements is true? O A. If the Fed decreases the supply of bonds in the market by 110, at any given price, the bond supply equation will become Price = Quantity + 840. O B. If the Fed increases the supply of bonds in the market by 110, at any given price, the bond supply equation will become Price = Quantity + 800. OC. If the Fed increases the supply of bonds in the market by 110, at any given price, the bond supply equation will become Price Quantity + 580. O D. If the Fed decreases the supply of bonds in the market by 110, at any given price, the bond supply equation will become Price = Quantity + 780.

If there is a temporary demand shock (the demand decreases) and the Fed or the government decides to “do nothing” and to wait for the economy to “fix itself,” which curve(s) will automatically shift on the graph to represent this adjustment?Group of answer choices 1There is a curve that is vertical but it is neither the supply curve nor the demand curve. 2The demand curve. 3The supply curve. 4No curve is vertical in the currency exchange market graph.
Assume that the current interest rate is 4.0% and the economy is in a mild recession somewhat below YN. Using the model of Liquidity Preference, illustrate with a graph and short explanation how that equilibrium rate of 4.0% is determined. Now, assume the next move by the Fed at its December meeting is to raise the target rate of interest by 50 basis points out of a fear of future inflation. Illustrate this contractionary monetary policy graphically, first through liquidity preference, and then via IS-LM. Could this contractionary move by the Fed result in full employment? Why or why not?
According to the Taylor rule, what should the federal funds rate target be if the current inflation rate is 9%, the target inflation rate is 2%, the equilibrium real federal funds rate is 1.5%, and the output gap is -4.5%? O (-) 9.75 percent O 11.75 percent 14 percent O 13.00 percent
Suppose the current real federal funds rate in the economy is 3.0%, the current inflation rate is 1.5%, the Federal Reserve's target inflation rate is 2.0%, and the output gap is -2.0%. According to the Taylor Rule, the Federal Reserve's target federal funds rate should be Select one: O a. 3.25%. O b. 3.75%. O c. 2.5%. O d. 2.75%.

QUESTION 1 Suppose that the Fed wants to increase money supply using open-market operations. A purchase of short-term government bonds in the amount of $10 mln will increase money supply by O A. $10 mln O B. less than $10 mln O C. more than $10 mln
What are the three motives for the demand for money in the Theory of Liquidity Preference? List them and give a brief description of each. Now, combine the three motives into a single equation for the demand for money, using the linear equation we focused on in this class. State the equation and explain in words each of the components of the equation. Lastly, is this equation “stable”, meaning in this context that the money function, once drawn, seldom changes? If so, is monetary policy to keep interest rates near a chosen target easy or hard. If not, if money demand is unstable, what does that mean for the ability of the Fed to stabilize interest rates near a chosen target?
For all the questions below select the appropriate answer a) An open market purchase by the Bank of Canada would result in O a fall in the excess reserves held by commercial banks O a rise in the bank rate O an increase in commercial bank reserves and an expansion of bank lending and deposits. a fall in the money supply as commercial banks reduced their loans and deposits. b) When a central bank sets an inflation rate target as the primary goal of monetary policy: O it must also set a fixed exchange rate target that is independent of its inflation target. O it must also set a money supply target that is independent of its inflation target. O it must also accept the money supply, exchange and interest rate consistent with its inflation target O it must accept and support the govemment budget target set by the Minister of Finance. c) The Bank of Canada would use an SPRA when: O a temporary excess supply of monetary base puts downward pressure on the overnight interest rate.
