11. A closed economy has the following parameters and functions that describe its components: • Consumption function: C = 180 +0.7(Y – T) • Desired investment function: = 120 - 18r - 0.1Y • Tax: T=400 • Government purchases of goods and services: G= 500 • Real money demand: L = 6Y - 120i • Real money supply: M/P = 5400 In money market, MIP = L. Assume the price level P= 1. Assume no inflation is expected. Build the IS-LM model and find the equilibrium level of real interest rate and real GDP.

In a small closed economy, its aggregate demand and output are given as the equations below, Y = C + I + G; national output or GDP. C = 100 + 0.5(Y-T); consumption, marginal propensity to consume MPC = 0.5. I = 150 – 10*r; investment is a negative function of real interest rate (r as %). (M/P)d = Y – 20*r; real money demand which is adjusted by price level (inflation). G = 200; as government spending. T = 200; as tax. M = 2,400; as money supply. P = 4; the price level. (1) With the equations above, try to derive the IS curve. Tip: recall IS curve represent the relation between national output (Y) and real interest rate (r) in goods market. To derive IS curve, you need to put all components of Y together and find its connection with r. (2) Use the same equations, now try to derive the LM curve. Tip: recall LM curve represent the relation between national output (Y) and real interest rate (r) in money market. So to derive LM curve, you need to consider money supply and demand.…
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 (M/P)d = Y - 180r. The money supply M is 3,000 and the price level P is 3. Find the equilibrium interest rate r and the equilibrium level of income Y. Suppose that government purchases are increased from 400 to What are the new equilibrium interest rate and level of income? 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? 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? Please solve 4

Consider a scenario of a closed economy in the short run where price level is fixed. Assume that both taxes and money supply increase in a way that keep output constant in equilibrium (suppose that the marginal propensity to consume is less than one). Which of the following may result from the policy change? a) It will lead to an increase in investment but a decrease in consumption.b) It will result in an increase in investment but a decrease in government spending.c) It will lead to an increase in investment and private saving.d) It will decrease investment but increase in public saving.
Desired consumption, desired investment, and government spending in a closed economy are Cd = 360 - 200r + 0.1Yd Id = 120 - 400r G = 120 Find an equation for desired national saving, Sd in terms of output Y and the real interest rate r. What value of the real interest rate clears the goods market when Y = 550? When Y = 600? When Y = 650? Use the goods market equilibrium condition to derive the IS curve

The consumption function is given by: C = 200+0.75 (Y-T). The investment function is I = 200-25r. G =100 T=100 Suppose instead that money supply is raised from 1,000 to 1,200. How much does the LM curve shift? What are the new equilibrium interest rate and level of income?
Consider the following functions for consumption and investment: C = 1,000 + (2/3)*(Y – T) and I = 1,200 – 100*r. Furthermore, Y = 8,000, G = 2500, T = 2,000. Compute private, public, and national savings for this economy, and find the equilibrium real interest rate (r). Assume that G declines by 500 units. How will it change your answers in part (a)? What happens to the national savings, given everything else, if the public decides to consume less out of their disposable income (assume that the propensity of consume falls by 10 percent)? Given your answer in part (c), what happens to investment and real interest rate? Answer all four.
Suppose that the Federal funds rate rose from 3% to 6% during the year.

(B) The corporate bond rate remained unchanged at 6%. (C) The stock market declined 20%. (D) The stock market was unchanged. (E) The unemployment rate rose from 5% to 6%. (F) The unemployment rate was unchanged.
Suppose the desired consumption function of Canadaland is given by C^d= 0.5 + 0.7Y - 10r - 0.1G, where Y is income, r is the real interest rate, and G is government purchases. This implies that a.

Desired consumption is increasing in governmental purchases
