Suppose that consumer spending initially rises by $5 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises by $20 billion for every 1 percentage point fall in the real interest rate. Also assume that the economy's multiplier is 4. If household wealth falls by 6 percent because of declining house values, and the real interest rate falls by 2 percentage points, in what direction and by how much will the aggregate demand curve initially shift at each price level? In what direction and by how much will it eventually shift?

Title If someone could show me how to solve this IS-LM problem that would be very helpful. Thanks! Show tr Description If someone could show me how to solve this IS-LM problem that would be very helpful. Thanks! Show transcribed image text Desired consumption: C^d = 580 + [0.55 x (Y - T)] - 45r Desired investment: I^d = 430 - 40r Real money demand: L = 0.6 Y - 95i Full-employment output: Y = 2,210 Expected inflation pi^c : 0.03 In this economy the government always has a balanced budget, so T = G, where T is total taxes collected. a. Suppose that T = G = 150 and that M = 4,320. Use the classical IS-LM model to determine the equilibrium value of the real interest rate. (flint: In the classical model output always equals its full-employment level.) The equations are: The initial equilibrium values of output, real interest rate, consumption, investment and the price level were found to be: Output = 2,210 Real interest rate = 0.97 Consumption = 1,669.4 Investment = 391.2 Price…
