Problem 26-11 (algo)For the economy described below:C = 2,500 + 0.9(Y - T) - 8,000rIP = 2,200 - 8,000rG = 2,500NX = 0т 3,600a. Suppose that potential output Y* equals 31,600. What real interest rate should the Fed set to bring the economy to full|employment? You may take as a given that the multiplier for this economy is 10.Instructions: Enter all your responses as whole numbers.Real rate of interest:5 O %b. Suppose that potential output Y* equals 26,800. What real interest rate should the Fed set to bring the economy to fullemployment? You may take as given that the multiplier for this economy is 10.Real rate of interest:8 O %c. Show that the real interest rate determined in part a sets national saving equal to planned investment when the economy isat potential output. This result shows that the real interest rate must be consistent with equilibrium in the market for savingwhen the economy is at full employment.Planned investment P=3160 *National saving S= 3160

“If f increases, then the Fed can keep output constantby reducing the real interest rate by the same amount asthe increase in financial frictions.” Is this statement true,false, or uncertain? Explain your answer.
Suppose a liquidity trap situation exists. Which of the following is most likely to occur if taxes are cut? A) no change in output and no change in the interest rate B) an increase in output and an increase in the interest rate C) an increase in output and little change in the interest rate D) an increase in output and a reduction in the interest rate E) none of the above
On June 5, 2003, the European Central Bank acted to decrease the short-term interest rate in Europe by half a percentage point, to 2 percent. The bank’s president at the time, Willem Duisenberg, suggested that, in the future, the bank could reduce rates further. The rate cut was made because European countries were growing very slowly or were in recession. What effect did the bank hope the action would have on the economy? Be specific. What was the hoped-for result on C, I, and Y?
#wk5-8 Refer to the table below and assume that the Fed’s reserve ratio is 10 percent and the economy is in a severe recession. Also suppose that the commercial banks are hoarding all excess reserves (not lending them out) because of their fear of loan defaults. Finally, suppose that the Fed is highly concerned that the banks will suddenly lend out these excess reserves and possibly contribute to inflation once the economy begins to recover and confidence is restored.

10. Suppose that the equilibrium real federal funds rate is 2.5% and the target inflation rateis 2.5%. If the current inflation is 6.25% and the output gap is -2.3%, use the Taylorrule to find the federal funds rate that the Fed should choose. Show your work.
Assume that the money demand function is (M / P)d = 2,200 – 200r, where r is the interest rate in percent. If the price level is fixed at P=2, and the Fed wants to fix the interest rate at 7 percent, it should set the money supply at: a. 2,000. b. 1,800. c. 1,600. d. 1,400.
In the Financial Times article, “Fed signals no rate rise until at least 2024 despite growth upgrade” (17 March 2021), we can read: “Federal Reserve officials signalled that they expect to keep interest rates close to zero until at least 2024, even as they sharply upgraded their US growth forecasts because of a massive fiscal stimulus and an accelerating vaccine rollout. [...] The upgrades to the forecasts from Fed officials were significant: whereas in December they predicted 4.2 percent growth this year, that estimate was bumped up to 6.5 percent, which would be the fastest economic expansion since 1984. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is now forecast to fall to 4.5 percent by the end of the year instead of 5 percent. [...] inflation [...], is expected to rise to 2.2 percent and above the central bank’s 2 percent target, compared with the smaller rise to 1.8 percent predicted in December. [...] The Fed has pledged to maintain rock-bottom interest rates until the US reaches full…
We would expect that the level of income that would equate total demand for and total supply of money would be: (a) roughly at the level of the Fed’s interest rate target; (b) lower the lower the interest rates; (c) equal to the level that would equate realized investment with realized savings; (d) higher the lower the interest rate (or lower the higher the interest rate)
Q15 Which of the following statements is consistent with a given (i.e., fixed) LM curve? Select one: a. A reduction in the interest rate causes money demand to decrease. b. A reduction in the interest rate causes investment spending to increase. c. An increase in output causes an increase in demand for goods d. An increase in output causes an increase in money demand.
The following set of equations describe an economy: C = 14,400 + 0.5 (Y − T) − 40,000r Ip = 8,000 − 20,000r G = 7,800 NX = 1,800 T = 8,000 Y* = 40,000 Suppose that the real interest rate (r) is 10%. Is the economy in long run equilibrium? If not, what real interest rate should central bank set to restore the economy back to the long run equilibrium? And what methods can central bank use to adjust the interest rate? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places)
