Suppose home owners owe $8 trillion in mortgage loans.
a. If the mortgage interest rate is 4 percent, approximately how much are home owners paying in annual mortgage interest?
$ billion
b. If the interest rate drops to 3.5 percent, by how much will annual interest payments decline?
$ billion
c. How will this change in the interest rate impact aggregate demand?
Aggregate demand will .
In order to break stagflation, the government has to increase expenditure on food subsidies in the form of food vouchers, unemployment benefits or allowances, wages subsidy to increase household consumption expenditure and boost up the AD. With increased consumption
expenditure, aggregate demand will rise, which would send a signal to the aggregate supply (AS) to raise production. This will create a positive effect, which will bring the economy out of recession.
Show this in a graph.
Why the aggregate demand curve slopes downward
The graph below shows the aggregate demand (AD) curve for a hypothetical economy. At point X, the quantity of output demanded is $300 billion, and the price level is 140. Moving down along the AD curve from point X to point Y, the quantity of output demanded rises to $500 billion, and the price level falls to 120.
As the price level falls, the cost of borrowing money will (REMAIN THE SAME or RISE or FALL), causing the quantity of output demanded to (REMAIN THE SAME or RISE or FALL). This phenomenon is known as the (EXCHANGE RATE or INTEREST RATE or WEALTH) effect.
Additionally, as the price level falls, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar to (RISE or FALL) in foreign exchange markets. The number of domestic products purchased by foreigners (exports) will therefore (RISE or FALL or REMAIN THE SAME), and the number of foreign products purchased by domestic consumers and firms (imports)…

- Economic fluctuations I The following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of $600 billion. Suppose a stock market boom increases household wealth and causes consumers to spend more. Shift the short-run aggregate supply (AS) curve or the aggregate demand (AD) curve to show the short-run impact of the stock market boom. In the short run, the increase in consumption spending associated with the stock market expansion causes the price level to the price level people expected and the quantity of output to the natural level of output. The stock market boom will cause the unemployment rate to the natural rate of unemployment in the short run. Again, the following graph shows the economy in long-run equilibrium at the expected price level of 120 and the natural level of output of $600 billion, before the increase in consumption spending associated with the stock market expansion.…arrow_forwardIn an effort to increase output in the short run due to the poor economy, government officials have decided to cut taxes.
