Scenario 2 Suppose the money demand is given by Md=Yx (0.4-i) where i is the interest rate. Suppose income Y totals 250. 9. Refer to Scenario 2. If the money supply is M³ = 25, what is the equilibrium interest rate? 10. Refer to Scenario 2. Suppose the Federal Reserve just met and decided they would like to decrease the interest rate by 4 percentage points (compared to the equilibrium rate you found in the previous question). What kind of monetary policy should it use, and what would the money supply have to equal to achieve that goal? (Your answer should be two items: first is expansion or contraction, the second is the actual amount the money supply should be.)

Occasionally, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)sets a policy designed to “track” the interest rate. This meansthat the FOMC is pursuing policies designed to keep the interestrate constant. If, in fact, the Fed were acting to counter anyincreases or decreases in the interest rate to keep it constant,what specific actions would you expect to see the Fed take if thefollowing were to occur? (In answering, indicate the effects ofeach set of events on Y, C, S, I, Ms, Md, and r.)a. An unexpected increase in investor confidence leads to asharp increase in orders for new plants and equipment.b.

Please pleaseee do this Question : For this question assume that the real money demand function is L(R, Y) = kY - hR where k > 0 represents the sensitivity of the money demand to income and h > 0 represents the sensitivity of the money demand to the interest rate. Suppose that these sensitivity parameters are not known for the economy of Macroland and there are two possibilities: it is either i) high k and low h, or ii) low k and high h. To understand which one of these two scenarios is correct you analyze a given policy change: an increase in the overall level of taxes. Using the AA-DD model, compare and contrast the short run effects of this policy change in Macroland under these two scenarios. Explain your results intuitively.

Interest rate (M/P)² (M³/P)⁰ (M³/P)1 H A K O B C O E L3 L1 L2 Quantity of Money LI is the original demand for money by the public and (M/P) is the real money supply. Assume tha the price level does not change. The original equilibrium is at point O. Suppose that the government lowered income taxes so that consumers had more disposable income. Briefly describe how you reached that conclusion. Identify the new equilibrium point and what happens to interest rates

Suppose that the economy has the following money supply and demand equations: Money Supply: M = 8000Money Demand: M= 10,000 – 40,000rwhere money is in billions of dollars and interest rates, r , is written as a decimal(e.g., an interest rate of 10% would be written as .1 in the equation).A.

Suppose the economy slows down and uncertainty increases, reducing consumption and investment expenditures, in the short run, this shock willcause the economy to fall below full enployment.
