A. Assume that the demand for real money balance (M/P)d is M/P = 0.4Y – 10i. National income is 30,000 and the price level is 100 and the growth rate of nominal money is 2 percent. The real interest rate r is fixed at 3 percent. Also assume that the expected inflation rate equals the rate of nominal money growth.
B. What is the quantity of money in the economy?
The quantity of money in the economy is M
So, we have M/P = 0.4Y – 10i Putting the values of the variables in the equation, we have
M/100=0.4*30000-10*(2+3)=11950
So, we have M=11,950,000

Consider a money demand function that takes the form (M/P)^d = Y/3i, where M is the quantity of money, P is the price lelve, Y is real output, and i is the nominal interest rate (measured in percentage points.) a) If the economy is growing g% per year and velocity is growing twice as fast what are the growth rates in real money balances and the interest rate? b) Supposing the money supply is growing at 3% per year, what...
Assume that the money demand function is (M / p)d = 2,200 – 200r, where r is the interest rate in percent. If the price level is fixed at P=2, and the Fed wants to fix the interest rate at 7 percent, it should set the money supply at: a. 2,000 b. 1,800 C. 1,600 O d. 1,400
Macroeconomics - Inflation rate 1. Chapter 5, Combined Model (4 points): Assume that real output is fixed at 500, consumption is fixed at С-350. government spending is fixed at G-60. ·Assume that the Investment function takes the following form 1(r) = 95-r, where r is given in percent terms (i.e., r-2 signifies an interest rate of 2%) » Assume that the quantity equation of money holds M-V- P.Y and the velocity of money is constant V (a) If the money...
3. An economy has the following money demand function: (M/P 2Y a. Derive an expression for the velocity of money. What does velocity depend on? Explain why this dependency may occur. b. Calculate velocity if the nominal interest rate i is 4 e. If output Y is 1,000 units and the money supply M d. Suppose the announcement of a new head of the percent. is $1,200, what is the price level P? central bank, with a reputation of being...
4. If nominal money demand doubles and the real money supply also does what happens to the price level ( ). The price level increases by a factor of four b. The price level doubles ). The price level is unchanged. d. The price level falls by one-half. IL Short-Answer O stiens (19 points) 5. (7 points) If the Federal Reserve sold government securities, then the money supply (increase decrease remain the same), the money he would _(increase decrease remain...
· Inflation (Mankiw Ch. 5 #3). An economy has the following money demand function: (M/Pd = .2Y/i1/2) a.) Derive an expression for the velocity of money. What does this velocity depend on? Explain why this dependency may occur. b.) Calculate the velocity if the nominal interest rate i is 4 percent. c.) Assume the nominal interest rate i is still 4 percent. If output Y is 1,000 units and the money supply M is $1,200, what is the price level...
Suppose that the money demand function is (M/P)d = 800 - 50r, where r is interest rate in percent. The money supply M is 2,000 and the price level P is fixed at 5. a. Graph the supply and demand for real money balances. b. What is equilibrium interest rate? c. What happens to the equilibrium interest rate if the supply of money is reduced from 2000 to 15000? d. If the central bank wants the interest rate to be...
Suppose that the money demand function is (M/ P)^d = 1000-100r where r is the interest rate in percent. The money supply M is 1000 and the price level P is 2.(a) Graph the supply and demand for real money balances.(b) What is the equilibrium interest rate?(c) Assume the price level is xed. What happens to the equilibrium interest rate if the supply of money is raised from 1000 to 1200?(d) If the Fed wishes to raise the interest rate...
Suppose a country has a money demand function (M/P)d = kY, where k is a constant parameter. The money supply grows by 12 percent per year, and the real income grows by 4 percent per year. A) What is the average inflation rate? B) How would inflation be different if real income growth were higher? Explain. C) How do you interpret parameter k? What is its relationship to velocity of money? D) Suppose instead of a constant money demand function,...
Consider the following economy with: Real Money demand 〖 (M/P)〗^d = – 12 R + 0.38 Y Real Money supply (M^s/P)= 4510 Derive the LM curve Derive the LM curve when the money supply increases by 680. Derive the LM curve when money supply decreases by 12% Compare the LM curves from a, b and c by graphing them using any graphing tool (excel preferably). Comment on the differences.
