A) Suppose the Fed conducts an open market purchase by buying $10 million in Treasury bonds from Acme Bank. Sketch out the balance sheet changes that will occur as Acme converts the bond sale proceeds to new loans. The initial Acme bank balance sheet contains the following information: Assets – reserves 30, bonds 50, and loans 50; Liabilities – deposits 300 and equity 30.B) All other things being equal, by how much will nominal GDP expand if the central bank increases the money supply by $100 billion, and the velocity of money is 3? C) Using your answer for C, answer the following:Suppose now that economists expect the velocity of money to increase by 50% as a result of the monetary stimulus. What will be the total increase in nominal GDP?

Suppose government spending increases. Would the effect on aggregate demand be larger if the central bank held the money supply constant in response or if the central bank chose to maintain a fixed interest rate? Illustrate and explain
A country has a total population of 79 million. The labour force in the country amounts to 47 million people. The current unemployment rate is 3.95%. The natural rate of unemployment is 4.2%. The marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. The current reserve ratio, which is applicable to all banks, is 6%. All banks tend to hold excess reserves of 3%. The current GDP deflator is 117. The current level of the consumer price index is 109. The intercept of the consumption function is 5200. The level of government expenditure is 6000. Potential GDP is at 43,000. Fixed taxes are at 3000. The economy is a closed economy. The level of investment is 2500. Transfer payments are at 3000. By how much should fixed taxes be changed in order to fix the GDP gap in this country? Selected Answer: Raise fixed taxes by approximately $700. Answers: Raise fixed taxes by approximately $933. Raise fixed taxes by approximately $700. Lower fixed taxes by approximately…
Read the statements below carefully, and decide whether it is true or false. And then explain your answer (whether “true “ or “false”). 1.A recession is defined as a period when the economy’s average price level is rising. 2. Inflation caused by a rise in per-unit production costs is referred to as demand-pull inflation. 3. Both final and intermediate goods and services should be counted in national income accounts. 4. A contractionary monetary policy will cause the general price level to rise in the short run. 5. If net exports is positive, a nation's exports of goods and services exceed its imports.
Discuss the impact of monetary and fiscal policy in each of these special cases:4. 1.1. If investment does not depend on the interest rate, the IS curve is vertical.4.1.2. If money demand does not depend on the interest rate, the LM curve is vertical.
In the context of the Money Surprise Model, suppose that there was an unanticipated increase in the money supply. With the use of diagrams, explain the effects of the sudden increase in money supply on employment, the real wage, output, real interest rate, demand for money, and the price level. PLEASE INCLUDE DIAGRAM, thank you
Consider an economy described by the following equations:Y = C + I + G (1)C = 100 + 0.75(Y − T) (2)I = 500 – 50 r (3)G = 125T = 100where Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government purchases, T is taxes, and r is the interest rate. If the economy were at full employment (that is, at its natural rate), GDP would be 2,000.1. Suppose the central bank’s policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 4 percent, so r = 4. Solve for GDP. Is it greater or lower than full-employment level? How much 2. Assuming no change in monetary policy (as was in part i), what change in government purchases would restore full employment?1. Assuming no change in fiscal policy, what change in the interest rate would restore full employment?
Given the equations of an economy: C= 10 + 0.75 Yd where C stands for consumption and Yd stands for disposable income T=0.2 Y where T stands for Tax and Y for income G=230, where G stands for Government expenditure I=280-6i where I stands for Investment and i for interest L=0.4Y-4i, where L stands for the demand for real balances M=800, where M stands for nominal money supply P=2, where P stands for the price level Calculate the budget surplus and If government spending were to increase by 10, what would be the change in the rate of interest, the level of investment and the level of income?
10) Initially, an economy is in long-run equilibrium with a real GDP of $4 trillion. Suppose that the productive capacity of the economy increases by 50% and at the same time, the money supply increases at the same rate. 1.) Using the line drawing tool (possibly twice), show the effect on the economy. Properly label your new line. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, show the new equilibrium price level and output. Label the point E2. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
Suppose that the central bank must follow a rule that requires it to increase the money supply when the price level falls and decrease the money supply when the price level rises. If the economy starts from long-run equilibrium and aggregate supply shifts left, the central bank must a. decrease the money supply, which will move output back towards its long-run level. b. decrease the money supply, which will move output farther from its long-run level. c. increase the money supply, which will move output back towards its long-run level. d. increase the money supply, which will move output farther from its long-run level.
