Suppose that the Money Supply is currently at $13,000, and that Money Demand is given by: MD= 23,000 - 2,000r where r is the interest rate, and for the purposes of the functional form above, if the interest rate = 8%, the r = 8 for derterming MD. Suppose that we start in equilibrium in the money market and the Central Bank targets the interest rate. If the Central Bank raises the interest rate by 2%, then how large will the surplus in the Money Market be if the Central Bank does not adjust the Money Supply (MS)? Note: round your answer to two decimal places. Also, if the answer is $2,678 for example, input this as 2678.00

Occasionally, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)sets a policy designed to “track” the interest rate. This meansthat the FOMC is pursuing policies designed to keep the interestrate constant. If, in fact, the Fed were acting to counter anyincreases or decreases in the interest rate to keep it constant,what specific actions would you expect to see the Fed take if thefollowing were to occur? (In answering, indicate the effects ofeach set of events on Y, C, S, I, Ms, Md, and r.)a. An unexpected increase in investor confidence leads to asharp increase in orders for new plants and equipment.b. A major New York bank fails, causing a number of worried peo-ple (not trusting even the FDIC) to withdraw a substantialamount of cash from other banks and put it in their cookie jars
Suppose that the money demand function is(M/P)d = 1,000 - 100r, where r is the interest rate in percent. Themoney supply M is 1,000 and the price level Pis 2.a. Graph the supply and demand for real moneybalances.b. What is the equilibrium interest rate?c. Assume that the price level is fixed. Whathappens to the equilibrium interest rate if thesupply of money is raised from 1,000 to 1,200?d. If the Fed wishes to raise the interest rate to7 percent, what money supply should it set?
On June 5, 2003, the European Central Bank acted to decrease the short-term interest rate in Europe by half a percentage point, to 2 percent. The bank’s president at the time, Willem Duisenberg, suggested that, in the future, the bank could reduce rates further. The rate cut was made because European countries were growing very slowly or were in recession. What effect did the bank hope the action would have on the economy? Be specific. What was the hoped-for result on C, I, and Y?
Suppose the economy of Macroland is described by the following:C = 200 + 0.8 DI (DI = disposable income)I = 300 + 0.2Y − 50r (Y = GDP)(r, the interest rate, is measured in percentage points. For example, a 9 percent interest rate is r = 9).For this economy, assume that the Federal Reserve uses its monetary policy to peg the interest rate atr = 5G = 750T = 0.25YX = 200M = 150 + 0.2YHint: DI = Y − T From Table 36-1, find the trade deficit or surplus. a. 75 surplus b. 475 surplus c. 475 deficit d. 75 deficit
How does the Overnight Rate Target inuence interest rates throughout the economy? (A) The Overnight Rate is the interest rate that banks use to borrow from each other. Therefore, the interest rates banks o er to the wider public are set with respect to this. (B) It shifts the demand for money to the right, increasing its equilibrium value. (C) It shifts the demand for money to the left, reducing its equilibrium value. (D) The Bank of Canada has no inuence, direct or indirect, on interest rates per se; this is more a function of government policy.
Demand for money is given by the following equation: Md = 0.3y – 8r. If the actual output is decreased by $200,000, then the demand curve for money will shift: and a) direction (to the right/left; b) amount

What are the three motives for the demand for money in the Theory of Liquidity Preference? List them and give a brief description of each. Now, combine the three motives into a single equation for the demand for money, using the linear equation we focused on in this class. State the equation and explain in words each of the components of the equation. Lastly, is this equation “stable”, meaning in this context that the money function, once drawn, seldom changes? If so, is monetary policy to keep interest rates near a chosen target easy or hard. If not, if money demand is unstable, what does that mean for the ability of the Fed to stabilize interest rates near a chosen target?
Explain why it is not possible for growing economies to have price stability whenthe money supply is constant
