In a hypothetical economy, people have the tendency to keep 20 percent of the real income in the form of cash. The country produces only one commodity i.e. Commodity Z. The price of Commodity Z is Rs.50 per unit. 200 units of Commodity Z are produced in the economy. Under cash balance approach, the demand for money is a. Rs.2000 b. Rs.10000 c. Rs.40 d. Rs.200

The commodity market for a simple two-sector economy is in equilibrium when Y = C + I. The money market is in equilibrium when the supply of money (Ms) equals the demand for money (Md), which in turn is composed of the transaction-precautionary demand for money (Mt) and the speculative demand for money (Mz). Assume a two-sector economy where C = 5 + 0.8Y, I = 100 - 75i, Ms = 250, Mt= 0.3Y, and Mz = 50 - 150i. , find the IS and LM and equliprium in commodity and money markets.

"Inflation tax" means that: Select one: a. as the price level rises, taxpayers are pushed into higher tax brackets. b. as the price level rises, the real value of money held by the public decreases. c. as taxes increase, the rate of inflation also increases. d. in a hyperinflation, the chief source of tax revenue is often the printing of money.
If the price level doubled and someone wanted to maintain the same level of purchasing power, the nominal quantity of money demanded: A) must decrease. B) also must double. C) must increase by 50%. D) must stay the same.
There is a persistent fear that there will be a high level of deflation. Many economists warn that it may be worse for the economy than if there is high inflation. Suppose that Herb is in debt and has to pay a 5.25% nominal interest rate. He expected inflation to be 1.50%. Instead, inflation is −2.00% (deflation). Multiple Choice Question... Because the economy is experiencing deflation of −2.00%instead of inflation of 1.50%, Herb's real interest rate, compared to what he expected to pay, has A) decreased, so Herb feels poorer. B) increased, so Herb feels richer. C) decreased, so Herb feels richer. D) increased, so Herb feels poorer.
It is not possible for the total value of production to increase unless the money supply also increases. After all, how can the value of the goods and services being bought and sold increase unless there is more money available.explain the assertion using the equation M = money supply, V = velocity of money, P = price level, Y = real GDP.
The following equations describe a small economy. Figures are in millions of dollars; interest rate (i) is in percent per annum. Assume that the price level (P) is fixed. Goods Market C = Co + cYD (Private consumption) YD = Y + TR – T (Disposable income) T = To + tY (Total taxes) I = Io – bi (Private investment) G = Go, TR = TRo (Gov. Expenditure and Transfers, respectively) Y = C + I + G (Goods mkt. equilibrium condition) Money Market L = kY- hi (Demand for real balances) Ms = Mo/P (Real money supply) L = Ms (Money mkt. equilibrium condition) Endogenous Variables: C, YD T, I, Y, L, Ms and i Exogenous Variables: Co = 300, To = 80, Io = 450, Go = 300, TRo = 100, Mo = 350, P =1 Parameters: c = 0.85, t = 0.15, b = 50, k = 0.25 and h = 62.5 Policy…
125.) If the price level, P, is 16, money demand equal to money supply is $1,000, and the desired cash balance ratio, little k, is .25, what is real GDP? 4000 2000 250 15.625
Suppose the current inflation rate is a constant 7% and the central bank implements a disinflation policy to reduce it to its target rate of 3%. To achieve this objective the central bank, by increasing its cash rate, raise the nominal interest rate from its current 9% to 14%. In the long run, at which the central bank achieves its inflation target, what will be the nominal rate of interest, the real rate of interest and the inflation rate?
2. Answer the following questions. 2.1 One good: barley. The economy has enough labor, capital, and land to produce Y = 800 bushels of barley. V is constant. In 2020, money supply (MS) = $2,000 P = $10/bushel. For 2021, the central bank increases MS by 10%. According to the quantity equation, compute the 2021 values of nominal GDP and P. Compute the inflation rate for 2020–2021. 2.2 If you deposit money in the bank for one year. Scenario 1: nominal interest rate = 10%, inflation rate = 0% Scenario 2: nominal interest rate = 25%, inflation rate = 15% In which scenario does the real value of your deposit grow the most? Explain. 2.3 Inflation distorts relative prices. What does this mean and why does it impose a cost on society?
