Economists in Pakland, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = Rs.10,500 C = Rs.6,000 T = Rs.1,500 G = Rs.1,700 The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I = 3,300 - 100r Where, r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage.

Question Consider an economy described by the following equations: Y = C+I+G C = 100+0.75 (Y-T) I = 500-50r G = 125 T = 100 where 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. What is the marginal propensity to consume in this economy? 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. How does it compare to the full-employment level? Assuming no change in monetary policy, what change in government purchases would restore full employment? Assuming no change in fiscal policy, what change in the interest rate would restore full employment?
Economists in Funlandia, a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: Y = 10,000 C = 6,000 T = 1,500 G = 1,700 The economists also estimate that the investment function is: I = 3,300 – 100 r, Where r is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage. Calculate private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, and the equilibrium real interest rate.
An economy is described by the following set of equations: C = 2,600 + 0.8(Y – T) – 5,000r, I = 3,000 – 15,000r, G = 800, X = M = 0, T = 1,000 + 0.3Y. The real interest rate, expressed as a decimal, is 0.10 (that is, 10 percent). Suppose the flow of GDP consistent with full employment is 10,000. What real interest rate would achieve full employment?

Which of the following statement is false? A. Consumption smoothing occurs when people borrow and save to smooth consumption over their lifetime. B. When making decisions about savings and borrowing, households and firms care more about the nominal interest rate than the real interest rate. C. Fisher equation describes the relationship between nominal and real interest rates under the effect of inflation. D. Movement along the demand curve for loanable funds is caused by a change in the interest rate.
Consider the intertemporal model of consumption studied in class, with two possible periods. Consider initially that an individual is a borrower. If the interest rate increases: (a)The individual will never become a saver. (b)The individual will always remain a borrower. (c)The individual will be worse off, provided she remains a borrower. (d)The individual can be better off, but only if she becomes a saver. Both c and d.
Explain the difference between saving and investment as defined by a macroeconomist. Which of the following situations represent investment and which represent saving? Explain.a. Your family takes out a mortgage and buys a new house.You use your $200 paycheck to buy stock in Africel.Your roommate earns $100 and deposits it in his account at a bank.You borrow $1,000 from a bank to buy a car to use in your pizza delivery business.The interest rate is 7 percent. Use the concept of present value to compare $200 to be received in 10 years and $300 to be received in 20 years.A company has an investment project that would cost $10 million today and yield a payoff of $15 million in 4 years.Should the firm undertake the project if the interest rate is 11 percent? 10 percent? 9 percent? 8 percent?Can you figure out the exact cutoff for the interest rate between profitability and nonprofitability?
