Answer to Problem 1QQ

Option 'd' is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Under the IS-LM model, a change in the money supply and the change in the tax rates will have a great impact over the interest rate in the economy. This is because the IS-LM model explains the relationship between the interest rates and the asset market in the economy.

Option (d):

When there is a decrease in the money supply, the policy becomes a contractionary monetary policy. When the contractionary monetary policy takes place, the LM curve will shift upward, and the interest rate will increase, whereas the income level of the economy will decrease. Thus, option d is correct.

Option (a):

When there is an increase in the tax rate in the economy, the disposable income of the consumers will decline in the economy. Thus, the fiscal policy will become a contractionary policy. As a result of the contractionary policy, the IS curve will shift toward the left, and as a result, the interest as well as the income level of the economy will decline. Thus, option a is incorrect.

Option (b):

When there is a decrease in the tax rate in the economy, the disposable income of the consumers will increase in the economy. Thus, the fiscal policy will become an expansionary policy. As a result of the expansionary policy, the IS curve will shift toward the right, and as a result, the interest as well as the income level of the economy will increase. Thus, option b is incorrect.

Option (c):

When there is an increase in the money supply, the policy becomes an expansionary monetary policy. When the expansionary monetary policy takes place, the LM curve will shift downward, and the interest rate will fall, whereas the income level of the economy will increase. Thus, option c is incorrect.
