Unit 6 Assignment Template: Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply Name: BU204 Section Number: 2
Date:11.28.2023
Assignment
This assignment addresses the market for loanable funds, marginal propensity to consume, the multiplier effect, aggregate supply (AS), aggregate demand (AD), and the basic concepts of open
economy macroeconomics
This assignment assesses your knowledge on the following Course Outcome:
BU204-1:
Examine how consumer spending, savings, investment spending, and other factors contribute to long-run economic growth.
1. A business contemplates building a new manufacturing facility and will need to seek loanable funds of $130 million. It expects that the new facility will yield a 12% return on investment (ROI). What is the current loanable funds market equilibrium rate depicted in the graph below? Given the current loanable funds market equilibrium depicted in the graph below, is it likely that the firm will borrow the money to build the new facility? Why?
2
Description: A graph showing the supply, in a red straight line rising to the right, and demand, in
a straight blue line descending to the right, for loanable funds with the market interest rates on the vertical axis and money available on the horizontal axis. Initial equilibrium is at 8% interest rate and 300 million dollars.
Yes, the firm will likely borrow the money due to the return being at 12% and the equilibrium rate being 8%. The difference will yield a profit for the business which is why they would go ahead with the loan for their new facility.
2. Given the income and consumption for the three individuals in the table below, calculate their individual marginal propensity to consume (MPC) and the total marginal propensity to consume for the entire group.

(63000/90000) = .7
3. The following questions relate to long-run macroeconomic equilibrium and the stock market boom.
Assume that a hypothetical economy is at long-run macroeconomic equilibrium with full employment and stable prices. Suddenly, the stock market prices increased much more than expected, increasing investors’ wealth and causing a short-term period of increased optimism about the future of the economy. a. In the short-run, will the AS curve or the AD curve shift? In which direction will it shift? In the short-run, the AD curve will move right due to the consumers increase in wealth.
b. In the short-run, what will happen to the price level and the quantity of output (real GDP)? In the short-run, price level and real GDP will both increase.
c. Explain what, if any, impact will there likely be on workers’ wages and the reasons for this impact.
Expected price level raises will raise higher than actual price. Higher price level will increase demand in higher wages so the short run supply will fall due to the increase.
d. In the long-run, which curve will shift due to the change in wages and price expectations created by the stock market boom? In which direction will it shift?

Assume the following: (1) the interest rate on six-month treasury bills is 8 percent per annum in the United Kingdom and 4 percent
per annum in the United States; (2) today's spot price of the pound is $1.50, while the six-month forward price of the pound is
$1.485. If the price of the six-month forward pound were to then U.S. investors would no longer earn an extra return by
shifting funds to the United Kingdom.

(1) This question involves detailed numerical calculations and will not be a typical exam
question. But it will help you understand the basic growth model.
The economy of Ping Pong produces its output using capital and labor. The labor force is
growing at 2% per year. At the same time, there is "labor-augmenting" technical progress
at the rate of 3% per year, so that each unit of labor is becoming more productive.
(a) How fast is the effective labor force growing?
(b) Now let's look at production possibilities in Ping Pong. We are going to plot a graph
with capital per unit of effective labor (k) on the horizontal axis and output per effective
unit of labor () on the vertical axis. Here is a description of the "production function" that
relates to k. As long as k is between 0 and 3, output (ŷ) is given by = (1/2)k. After k
trosses the level 3, an additional unit of k only yields one-seventh additional units of ŷ. This
happens until &…
