For the linear IS-LM model, the goods market and the money market are in equilibrium when. Suppose that the economy is characterized by the following equations: (Y;r) = ( 1200 ; 6), Y-C-IG=0, C-Co-c(Y-T)=0,I-Io+hr=0, and kY-ur-M^s=0, which are satisfied for Co=60, lo=150, G=250, T=200, M^s=60, with the parameters c=0.8, k=0.1, h=10, and u=10. How are the equilibrium and affected, a) if "h" (the sensivity of the demand for investment to the interest rate) decreases to 5?  b) if "u" (the sensitivity of the demand for real money balances to the interest rate) decreases to 5?
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.

In what direction and by how much will it eventually shift?
