Suppose that for each one-percentage-point increase in the interest rate, the level of investment spending declines by $0.5 billion. The change in th interest rate (according to the change you made to the money market in the previous scenario) therefore causes the level of investment spending to ▼ by After the multiplier effect is accounted for, the change in investment spending will cause the quantity of output demanded to by at each price level. The impact of an increase in government purchases on the interest rate and the level of investment spending is effect. known as the Use the purple line (diamond symbol) on the graph at the beginning of this problem to show the aggregate demand curve (AD3) after accounting for the impact of the increase in government purchases on the interest rate and the level of investment spending. Hint: Be sure your final aggregate demand curve (AD3) is parallel to AD₁ and AD2. You can see the slopes of AD₁ and AD2 by selecting them on the graph.

The following graph shows the money market in equilibrium at an interest rate of 6% and a quantity of money equal to $45 billion. Show the impact of the increase in government purchases on the interest rate by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph.
Suppose that expanded credit card availability makes people demand less money at every value of money. a) Using the graph of the money market, show and explain how this change will impact the equilibrium value of money and the equilibrium price level in the economy (do not forget to label the axes). Using the graph of the money market, show and explain the action the Federal Reserve could take to return the economy to its initial price level.
Fed Cuts Key Interest Rate Again Washington, DC—Alarmed by the rapidly weakening economy, the Federal Reserve cut a key interest rate again yesterday. The Fed cut the discount rate, dropping it from 2.75 percent at the beginning of the year to a mere 0.25 percent now. The discount rate is the rate the Fed charges for loans it makes to private banks. By dropping the rate, the Fed is hoping banks will borrow more money, then use that money to make new loans to businesses and consumers. What has spooked the Fed is that GDP is falling at the fastest rate in 50 years. The Fed is hoping that record low interest rates will prompt more spending, preventing a protracted recession. If every one-point change in the federal funds rate alters aggregate demand by $180 billion, how far would AD shift in response to the interest rate cuts?
The following diagram represents the equilibrium in the money market. Explain the following question with the help of the graph ( in the picture ): a) What is the equilibrium level of interest rate and quantity of money demanded and supplied? b) What would happen in the money market if the market prevailing interest rate is 8? Describe the adjustment mechanism? c) How price level affects the money demand curve? How could you reflect this change diagrammatically? d) Why the Money supply curve is vertical and independent of the interest rate? Explain? e) Suppose central bank of Bangladesh decided to use open market sale of securities. How does it affect the money supply of the economy? Explain with graph?
Suppose the money market for some hypothetical economy is given by the following graph, which plots the money demand and money supply curves. Assume the central bank in this economy (the Fed) fixes the quantity of money supplied. Suppose the price level increases from 90 to 105. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to show the impact of an increase in the overall price level on the market for money. Following the price level increase, the quantity of money demanded at the initial interest rate of 6% will be (greater/less)than the quantity of money supplied by the Fed at this interest rate. As a result, individuals will attempt to (increase/decrease) their money holdings. In order to do so, they will (buy/sell) bonds and other interest-bearing assets, and bond issuers will realize that they (have to offer higher/can offer lower) interest rates until equilibrium is restored in the money market at an interest rate of ______%. The following graph plots the…
Which of the following reduces the interest rate? a. a decrease in government expenditures and a decrease in the money supply b. an increase in government expenditures and an increase in the money supply c. an increase in government expenditures and a decrease in the money supply d. a decrease in government expenditures and an increase in the money supply
Suppose the money market for some hypothetical economy is given by the following graph, which plots the money demand and money supply curves. Assume the central bank in this economy (the Fed) fixes the quantity of money supplied. Suppose the price level decreases from 90 to 75. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to show the impact of a decrease in the overall price level on the market for money. Following the price level decrease, the quantity of money demanded at the initial interest rate of 6% will be (greater/less) than the quantity of money supplied by the Fed at this interest rate. As a result, individuals will attempt to (increase/decrease) their money holdings. In order to do so, they will (buy/sell) bonds and other interest-bearing assets, and bond issuers will realize that they (have to offer higher/can offer lower) interest rates until equilibrium is restored in the money market at an interest rate of________% The following graph plots the…
Q8 Which of the following statements is consistent with a given (i.e., fixed) IS 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 government spending causes an increase in demand for goods. d. A reduction in the interest rate causes an increase in the money supply.
The following table shows a money demand schedule, which is the quantity of money demanded at various price levels ( P ).Fill in the Value of Money column in the following table.Price Level (P) Value of Money (1/P) Quantity of Money Demanded (Billions of dollars)1.00 ______ 1.51.33 _______2.02.00 _______3.54.00 _______ 7.0Now consider the relationship between the price level and the quantity of money that people demand. The lower the price level, the money the typical transaction requires, and the money people will wish to hold in the form of currency or demand deposits.Assume that the Fed initially fixes the quantity of money supplied at $3.5 billion.Use the orange line (square symbol) to plot the initial money supply ( MS1 ) set by the Fed. Then, referring to the previous table, use the blue connected points (circle symbol) to graph the money demand curve.
When a consumer withdraws cash from a drawer in his house and deposits it in a savings account, the composition of the money supply immediately changes, and the size of the money supply may eventually alter as well. Demonstrate and explain how this activity may affect the money supply in an economy.
The following graph represents the money market for some hypothetical economy. This economy is similar to the United States in the sense that it has a central bank called the Fed, but a major difference is that this economy is closed (and therefore does not have any interaction with other world economies). The money market is currently in equilibrium at an interest rate of 3% and a quantity of money equal to $0.4 trillion, designated on the graph by the grey star symbol. Suppose the Fed announces that it is raising its target interest rate by 75 basis points, or 0.75 percentage points. To do this, the Fed will use open-market operations to (increase/decrease) the (demand for/supply for) money by (buying bonds from/selling bonds to) the public. Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the previous graph to illustrate the effects of this policy by placing the new money supply curve (MS) in the correct location. Place the black point (plus symbol) at the new equilibrium interest rate…
