TRUE FALSE The more the Fed accommodates shocks to money demand, the larger the (government) spending multiplier.
Consider an economy for which the current GDP is $800 billion, “the” multiplier is 3, the income multiplier with respect to the money supply is 4, the money multiplier is 5, the marginal tax rate is 20%, the real interest rate is 3%, the current budget deficit is $30 billion, the long‐run real rate of growth is 2%, the current money supply is $200 billion, the rate of money supply growth is 10%, and financial innovations are decreasing money demand by 1% per year. Marks are given for your explanations, not the final answer. What should be the long‐run rate of inflation? What should be the price of a T‐bill due to mature in six months at its face value of $1,000?
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)
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.
1. If LRAS = $500 billion, RGDP = $700 billion, and MPC = .8, then what should the Fed do? Be specific and list all three options. Also draw and label both the current situation and what would occur as the government impacted the economy through their actions. 2. What are the impacts in the short run of the above actions on the following: the market interest rate, the quantity of money demanded, investment spending, aggregate demand, potential output, the price level, and equilibrium RGDP.
If the money multiplier is 5 and the Fed sells $1 million worth of bonds, what happens to the money supply? Group of answer choices It decreases by $10 million. It increases by $10 million. It decreases by $5 million. It increases by $5 million.
If the Fed decides to leave the federal funds rate target range unchanged, we would expect _______. A. deflation to occur and the unemployment rate to increase B. the recessionary gap to increase C. potential GDP to increase and the full-employment quantity of labor to increase D. inflation to increase and the unemployment rate to decrease
If the money multiplier is 3 and the Fed wants to increase the money supply by $900,000, it could A. buy $300,000 worth of bonds. B. buy $450,000 worth of bonds. C. sell $300,000 worth of bonds. D. sell $450,000 worth of bonds.
When the Fed lowers the federal funds rate target and buys bonds, what happens to short-term interest rates and the monetary base? A. short-term interest rates fall; the monetary base increases B. short-term interest rates fall; the monetary base decreases C. short-term interest rates rise; the monetary base increases D. short-term interest rates rise; the monetary base decreases
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.
SHOW NEW GRAPH Options listed If the velocity of money is 3, the money supply in this economy is - $12 trillion, $9 trillion, $15 trillion, $6 trillion, $18 trillion, OR $3 trillion Because ( the AD curve is downward sloping, velocity is assumed to be constant, OR the federal reserve controls M), the percentage increase in the price level is (less than, greater than, OR the same as) the percentage increase in the money supply. This illustrates (fact that monetary policy can increase real gdp, simple quantity theory of money, OR the importance of the federal reserve.)
What happens when the Fed begins to taper purchases? (a) The supply of bonds increases, price rises and interest rates rise (b)Demand for bonds decreases, prices fall, and interest rates rise (c) The supply of bonds decreased, prices fall, and interest rates rise
