Question
Chapter 29, Problem 1DQ
To determine
The difference between investment schedule and investment demand curve.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
An investment schedule depicts the levels of investment made at different levels of
Whereas, the investment demand curve shows the level of investment made at different levels of interest
If the interest rate is higher, then the cost of borrowing would be greater which in turn reduces the return from the investment. Thus, increasing interest leads to reduce the demand for investment and vice versa. There is a negative relationship exist among the demand for investment and interest rate.
Economics Concept Introduction
Concept Introduction:
Investment schedule: An investment schedule shows the level of demand for investment at different levels of national income.
Investment demand curve: The investment demand curve depicts the value of investment projects demanded at every given interest rate.

3. permanent Income Hypothesis
a) suppose that beta=.9 and R= 2222 (that is ~22%). For an individual who acts according to the PIH, will their consumption next period be higher than current consumption or lower?
b) What is the main crucial difference between the Keynesian Consumption function and the consumption function derived from the PIH (or Lifetime Income Hypothesis)?
c) If Present Value of future income stream is 500,000 and a person has a beta of.8, how much will their consumption go up today if only today's income increases by 1000? How much will their consumption increase (approximately) if their income goes up by 1000 in all periods?
1. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, during therecession of 2007–2009, household saving as a fraction of dis-posable personal income increased from a low of just over1 percent in the first quarter of 2008 to 5 percent in the secondquarter of 2009. All else equal, what impact would this changein saving have on the MPC, MPS, and multiplier? How wouldthis change affect equilibrium output when planned invest-ment changes?
2. Assume in a simple economy that the level of saving is –500 whenaggregate output equals zero and that the marginal propensity tosave is 0.2. Derive the saving function and the consumption func-tion, and draw a graph showing these functions. At what level ofaggregate output does the consumption curve cross the 45° line?Explain your answer and show this on the graph.
