*9. Suppose that autonomous consumption and planned investment in the economy described in problem 5 change to and . All other aspects of the structure of the commodity and the money markets are as described in problem 5.
(a) Derive the equation for the new IS curve and verify that the equilibrium interest rate and real output are the same as you computed in parts 5g and 5h, respectively.
(b) Calculate the slope of the new IS curve,
(c) Compared to problem 5, have autonomous consumption and planned investment become more or less responsive to a change in the interest rate? Is the IS curve steeper or flatter as a result? How does this change in the interest responsiveness of autonomous spending alter the amount by which real output will change following an expansionary change in fiscal or monetary policy?
(d) Compute the new equilibrium interest rate and real output if government spending increases by 160.
(e) Compute the new equilibrium interest rate and real output if G equals 1,700 but the real money supply increases by 100.
(f) How and why do the answers in parts d and e differ from problem 6a and 6b, respectively? Is your prediction in part c confirmed?

All other things remaining equal, which of the following changes would cause the AD curve to become steeper? To become flatter? an increase in the interest-rate responsiveness of autonomous consumption an increase in the interest-rate responsiveness of real money demand an increase in the marginal tax rate an increase in the marginal propensity to import an increase in the income responsiveness of real money demand
ch4.p3 - macroeconomicsThe money and commodity markets are as described in problems 1 and 2 and the real money supply equals $2,750, so that the economy’s equilibrium is initially the same as in part d of problem 2.(a) During the Congressional election of 2010, Party A proposes to increase government spending on roads and bridges by $120 billion and to pay for that spending by raising taxes by that amount. If Party A’s proposal were to be enacted, derive what the...
a. Suppose that the macroeconomic model of an economy is given as follows:Consumption functionC = 150 + 0.85Yd , Investment function I = 350 – 10iGovernment spendingG = 200, Tax function T = 80 + 0.25YTransfer paymentsTRo = 60, Total transactions demand for money MT = 0.45YSpeculative demand for money Msp = -40i, Real moneysupply of Ms = 400Where Yd is disposable income, i is the interest rate, figures are in billions of shillings.Using this model compute the following:(i) The equilibrium rate of interest and income.(ii) The tax multiplier in the Keynesian system(iii) The crowding-out effect of additional...

Consider an economy in which taxes, planned investment, government spending on goods and services, and net exports are autonomous, but consumption and planned investment change as the interest rate changes. You are given the following information concerning autonomous consumption, the marginal propensity to consume, planned investment, government purchases of goods and services, and net exports: Ca = 1,500 – 10r; c = 0.6; Ta = 1,800; Ip = 2,400 – 50r; G = 2,000; NX = -200 (a)Derive Ep and...
