Econ test 3 study
Scenario 26-3. Assume the following information for an imaginary, open economy. Consumption = $1,000; investment = $200; net exports = -$50; taxes = $230; private saving = $225; and national saving = $150. 10. Refer to Scenario 26-3. For this economy, government purchases amount to
$305. private saving (225)+ taxes (230)- national saving (150) = 305
Figure 33-11. 31. Refer to Figure 33-11. A movement from P1 and Y2, to P2 and Y1 would be consistent with

If the price level increased from 120 to 130, then what was the inflation rate?
8.3 percent.
Figure 33-7. 18. Refer to Figure 33-7. If the economy starts at Y, then an expansion occurs at

1 and banks do not create money.

1/P represents the value of money measured in terms of goods and services.
If the reserve ratio is 8 percent, then the money multiplier is
12.5 mm= 1/R mm= 1/.80 = 1.25 move decimal over: .8-> 8 1.25-> 12.5 mm= 12.5
In the nation of Wiknam, the money supply is $80,000 and reserves are $18,000. Assuming that people hold only deposits and no currency, and that banks hold no excess reserves, then the reserve requirement is
22.5 percent. money supply= reserves X mm mm= 1/22 or rr = 1/mm (80,000)/18,000 = (18,000Xmm) /18,000 mm=4.44
If the real interest rate is 6 percent and the price level is falling at a rate of 2 percent, what is the nominal interest rate?
4 percent real interest rate = nominal interest - inflation rate so 6 = ni - (-2) + (-2) 4= ni
Refer to Table 29-7. If the Bank of Springfield has lent out all the money it can given its level of deposits, then what is the reserve requirement?
4.4 percent

aggregate demand left.
Other things the same, when the government spends less, the initial effect is that

aggregate demand shifts right
Which of the following would increase the price level?

equal to investment.
If the supply for loanable funds shifts to the right, then the equilibrium interest rate
falls and the quantity of loanable funds rises.
If the Fed increases the money supply, then 1/P
falls, so the value of money falls.

investment falls by $5b. private savings + public savings
. If the discount rate is lowered then banks borrow
more from the Fed so reserves increase.
