Use the table below for the next set of questions. Column 1 shows the interest rate, column 2 shows the demand for money, and columns 3–5 show the supply of money. All quantities are in millions ($). (1) Interest rate (2) Dm (3) Sm1 (4) Sm2 (5) Sm3 10% $1500 $2200 $2500 $1800 8 1800 2200 2500 1800 6 2200 2200 2500 1800 4 2500 2200 2500 1800 2 2800 2200 2500 1800 (a)Given the demand for money, what will the equilibrium interest rate be for each of the different supply of money schedules? (b)Assume the economy was in equilibrium at Dm and Sm1. If the FED decides to change the money supply to Sm2 and the interest rate stays the same, how much of a shortage or surplus in the money supply will there be? Describe what will happen in the money market and the bond market to eliminate the surplus or shortage and restore a new equilibrium interest rate. (c)Assume the economy was in equilibrium at Dm and Sm1. If the FED decides to change the money supply to Sm3 and the interest rate stays the same, how much of a shortage or surplus in the money supply will there be? Describe what will happen in this money market and the bond market to eliminate the surplus or shortage of money and restore a new equilibrium interest rate.
