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 the price level reflects the number of dollars needed to buy a basket of goods containing one cup of coffee, one donut, and one newspaper. In year one, the basket costs $6.00.
In year two, the price of the same basket is $7.00. From year one to year two, there is at an annual rate of .
In year one, $12.00 will buy baskets, and in year two, $12.00 will buy baskets.
This example illustrates that, as the price level rises, the value of money .
AVC = 10-0.03q+0.00005q^2
ATC = 10-0.03q+0.00005q^2 +100/q
and
MC = 10-0.06q+0.00015q^2
Answer the following questions in EXCEL:1 At what value of q is AVC at its minimum? (Hint: The easiest way tocalculate this value is to solve AVC - MC = 0 for q.)2 At the above output level what value does AVC take?3 If the forecasted price of the firm's output is $10 per unit:a How much output will the firm produce in the short run?b How much profit (loss) will the firm earn)?4 If the forecasted price is $7 per unit:a How much output will the firm produce in the short run? (Keep only2 decimals)b How much profit (loss) will the firm earn)? (Keep only 2 decimals)
