Draw a graph of First​ Call's demand for loanable funds curve.

The demand for loanable funds curve shows the relationship between the quantity of loanable funds demanded and the real interest rate when all other influences on borrowing plans remain the same. The correct demand for loanable funds curve passes through the points ​($10 ​million, 4​), ​($12 ​million, 3​) and ​($14 ​million, 2​).

The demand for loanable funds is determined by​ ______. The demand for loanable funds changes when​ ______ changes.

The demand for loanable funds is determined by the real interest rate and expected profit.

In June​ 2018, individuals and businesses​ held: ​$50 billion in currency and no​ traveler's checks ​$1,000 billion in checkable deposits ​$5,000 billion in savings deposits ​$500 billion in time deposits ​$250 billion in money market funds and other In June​ 2018, banks​ held: ​$450 billion in currency ​$100 billion in reserves at the central bank $800 billion in loans to households and businesses Calculate the M1 and M2 measures of money. calculate the monetary base calculate currency drain ratio and reserve ratio calculate m1m and m2m How is the money multiplier influenced by the ​banks' reserve​ ratio? An increase in​ banks' reserves with no change in deposits​ _____ banks' reserve ratio and​ _____ the money multiplier.

- M1 is the quantity of money held by individuals and businesses in the form of checkable deposits and currency. M1= 1050 ; M2 = 6800 monetary base=s the sum of bank reserves held at the central bank and currency issued by the central bank. Currency issued by the central bank is the currency held by​ individuals, businesses, and banks. Monetary base​ = $100 billion​ + $450 billion​ + $50 billion​ = $600 billion. CDR = currency drain ratio​ = (Currency held by individuals and businesses ÷ Checkable deposits)× 100. = 5% RRR= Bank reserves​ = Currency held by banks​ + reserves at the central bank = 55 The money multiplier is the number by which the monetary base is multiplied to equal the quantity of money. So the money multiplier​ = Quantity of money÷ Monetary base. m1m = 1.75 ; m2m = 11.33 money multiplier​ = ​(D ​+ C​)/(R ​+ C​) Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by D​, the money multiplier​ = ​(1 + ​C/D​) ÷ ​(​R/D ​+ C​/D​). The​ banks' reserve ratio is ​R/D. An increase in the​ banks' reserves increases the​ banks' reserve ratio and decreases the money multiplier.

Lori is a student who teaches golf on Saturdays. In a year she earns ​$35,000 after paying her taxes.

In the right​ graph, draw a point to show the quantity of money demanded when the interest rate is 5 percent. Show the effect of an increase in real GDP. Draw either an arrow along the curve showing the direction of​ change, or a new demand for money curve

The interest rate is the opportunity cost of holding money. As the interest rate​ falls, the opportunity cost of holding money falls and the quantity of real money demanded increases. As the interest rate​ rises, the opportunity cost of holding money​ rises, and the quantity of real money demanded decreases. The demand for money curve shows the relationship between the quantity of real money demanded and the interest rate. The demand for money curve is a​ downward-sloping line. When real GDP​ increases, the demand for money increases and the demand for money curve shifts rightward. When real GDP​ decreases, the demand for money decreases and the demand for money curve shifts leftward.

If the monetary base increases by​ $1 million and the quantity of money increases by​ $2.5 million, then the money multiplier is​ _____.

The money multiplier is the ratio of the change in the quantity of money to the change in monetary base. If the monetary base increases by​ $1 million and the quantity of money increases by​ $2.5 million, then the money multiplier is​ $2.5 million/$1 million​ = 2.5.

Michael, an Internet service​ provider, bought an existing business worth ​$400,000 on December​ 31, 2017. During 2018​, his business grew and he bought ​$200,000 of new servers. The market value of his older servers fell by ​$150,000. What was​ Michael's gross​ investment, depreciation and net investment during 2018​?

2018 gross investment = Gross investment is the total amount spent on new capital. In​ 2008, Michael spent ​$200,000 on new servers. His gross investment is ​$200,000. 2018 depreciation = 150000 ; Depreciation is the decrease in the value of capital that results from its use and from obsolescence. During​ 2008, the market value of some of​ Michael's older servers fell by ​$150,000. Depreciation is ​$150,000. 2018 net investment = Net investment is the change in the quantity of capital. It equals gross investment minus depreciation. ​Michael's gross investment is ​$200,000. ​Michael's depreciation is ​$150,000. So net investment is ​$200,000−​$150,000​, which is ​$50,000.

Using a Federal grant of​ $150,000, a research lab buys equipment for​ $75,000 that has depreciated by​ $11,000 after two years. Calculate gross investment and net investment.

Gross investment is the total amount spent on new capital. Net investment is the change in the quantity of capital​ - equals gross investment minus depreciation. If a​ $150,000 Federal grant is used by a research lab to buy equipment for​ $75,000 that has depreciated by​ $11,000 after two​ years, this implies the total amount spent on the equipment​ (new capital) is​ $75,000, which is gross investment. Net investment is equal to gross investment minus depreciation​ ($75,000 -​ $11,000) or​ $64,000. So gross investment is​ $75,000 and net investment is​ $64,000.

In​ 2005, the nominal interest rate on bonds was 5 percent a year and the real interest rate was 2 percent a year. Investment was​ $2.7 trillion and the government budget deficit was​ $0.5 trillion. ​ • By​ 2009, the real interest rate had increased to 5 percent a​ year, but the nominal interest rate was unchanged at 5 percent a year. Investment had crashed to​ $1.8 trillion and the government budget deficit had climbed to​ $1.8 trillion. Assume that the private demand for and private supply of loanable funds did not change between 2005 and 2009. What was the inflation rate in 2005 and​ 2009? How do you​ know? The inflation rates in 2005 and 2009 were​ _____ because the inflation rate equals​ _____ . What happened to the price of a bond between 2005 and​ 2009? How do you​ know? The price of a bond ​ _____ between 2005 and 2009 because the​ _____.

The real interest rate equals the nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate. So the inflation rate equals the nominal interest rate minus the real interest rate. In​ 2005, the nominal interest rate was 5 percent a year and the real interest rate was 2 percent a​ year, so the inflation rate was 3 percent a year. In​ 2009, the nominal interest rate was 5 percent a year and the real interest rate was 5 percent a​ year, so the inflation rate was zero. Key​ Point: The nominal interest rate minus the real interest rate equals the inflation rate ------- The price of a bond is inversely related to the nominal interest rate. Between 2005 and​ 2009, the nominal interest rate did not change—it remained at 5 percent a year. With the nominal interest rate​ unchanged, the price of a bond was also unchanged. Key​ Point: The price of a bond is inversely related to the nominal interest rate.

In​ 2009, the nominal interest rate was 5 percent a year and the real interest rate was 5 percent a​ year, so the inflation rate was zero. Key​ Point: The nominal interest rate minus the real interest rate equals the inflation rate. --------- remained​ unchanged; nominal interest rate remained unchanged -------- increased ------- The increase in the government budget deficit increased the demand for loanable funds. With no change in the supply of loanable​ funds, the real interest rate increases and investment decreases. Between 2005 and​ 2009, the real interest rate increased from 2 percent a year to 5 percent a​ year, and the quantity of loanable funds demanded by firms decreased from​ $2.7 trillion to​ $1.8 trillion. Crowding out occurred. Key​ Point: With a given supply of loanable​ funds, an increase in the government budget deficit increases the real interest rate and crowds out investment. --------- Saving and investment plans depend on the real interest rate. Between 2005 and​ 2009, the real interest rate​ increased, which increased saving and decreased investment. The increase saving increased the quantity supplied of loanable funds. The decrease in investment decreased the quantity demanded of loanable funds. Key​ Point: A change in the real interest rate does not change the supply of or demand for loanable​ funds: It changes the quantities supplied and demanded.

The table provides information about the nominal interest rate and the CPI inflation rate in the United States for the past five months. In March 2022​, the real interest rate was Between November 2021 and March 2022​, the real interest rate

The real interest rate is equal to the nominal interest rate minus the inflation​ rate, which, for Mar, 2022 is 3.43 percent−8.56 percent​ = −5.13percent The real interest rate in Nov, 2021 was 2.62 percent−6.83 percent​ = −4.21 percent. The real interest rate in Mar, 2022 is 3.43 percent−8.56 percent​ = −5.13 percent. So the real interest rate decreased.

The real interest rate is the opportunity cost of loanable funds because​ ______.

The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted to remove the effects of inflation on the buying power of money. The real interest rate is the opportunity cost of loanable funds. The real interest paid on borrowed funds is the opportunity cost of borrowing. And the real interest rate forgone when funds are used either to buy consumption goods and services or to invest in new capital goods is the opportunity cost of not saving or not lending those funds.

The supply of loanable funds is determined by the​ _________. The supply of loanable funds changes when​ _______.

The supply of loanable funds is determined by the saving decisions of​ households, which are influenced by the real interest​ rate, disposable​ income, expected future​ income, wealth, and default risk. The supply of loanable funds changes whenever any of these factors changes.

The supply of loanable funds is the relationship between​ _____ supplied and the​ _____ when all other influences on lending plans remain the same.

The supply of loanable funds is the relationship between the quantity of loanable funds supplied and the real interest rate when all other influences on lending plans remain the same.

The table sets out the data for an economy when the​ government's budget is balanced. Suppose that the quantity of loanable funds demanded increases by ​$1.5 trillion at each real interest rate and the quantity of loanable funds supplied increases by ​$0.5 trillion at each real interest rate. If the government budget remains​ balanced, what are the real interest​ rate, investment, and private​ saving? Does any crowding out​ occur? The real interest rate is __________

The real interest rate is the real interest rate at which the quantity of loanable funds demanded equals the quantity of total loanable funds supplied. The equilibrium real interest rate is 6 percent a year. _____ The equilibrium real interest rate is 6 percent a year. When the real interest rate is 6 percent a​ year, the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds is ​$7.5 trillion. So investment and saving are both ​$7.5 trillion. ---- The real interest rate is the real interest rate at which the quantity of loanable funds demanded equals the quantity of new quantity of loanable funds supplied. The equilibrium real interest rate is 5.5 percent a year. ------ The table shows the demand for loanable funds​ schedule, the supply of loanable funds​ schedule, and the new demand for loanable funds schedule when investment increases by​ $1.0 trillion at each real interest rate. The real interest rate is the real interest rate at which the quantity of loanable funds demanded equals the quantity of new quantity of loanable funds supplied. The equilibrium real interest rate rises to 7 percent a year and the quantity of saving increases.

The table sets out the data for an economy when the​ government's budget is balanced. If the​ government's budget becomes a deficit of ​$2.0 ​trillion, what are the real interest rate and​ investment? Does crowding out​ occur? If the​ government's budget becomes a deficit of ​$2.0 trillion, the real interest rate is ______ percent a year and the quantity of investment is _______ There​ _____ crowding out in this situation because​ _____.

The table shows the demand for loanable funds​ schedule, the private supply of loanable​ funds, and the total demand for loanable funds schedule. To find total demand for loanable​ funds, we add the government budget deficit to the private demand for loanable funds. We have found that the new real interest rate is 8 percent a year. When the real interest rate is 8 percent a​ year, what is the quantity of​ investment? 4.5 ​is; the deficit increases the real interest​ rate, which decreases the quantity of loanable funds demanded

The table shows an​ economy's demand for loanable funds schedule and supply of loanable funds schedule when the​ government's budget is balanced.

The three main types of markets for financial capital are loan​ markets, bond​ markets, and stock markets.

The two main official measures of money in the United States today are​ ______. The two main official measures of money in the United States​ ______ really money.

The two main official measures of money in the United States today are M1 and M2. The test of whether an asset is money is whether it serves as a means of payment. Currency passes the test. Checking deposits are money because they can be transferred from one person to another by writing a check or using a debit card. So M1 is really money. Some of the savings deposits in M2 are just as much a means of payment as M1. Some savings deposits are not a means of​ payment, and they are known as liquid assets—assets that can be easily converted into a means of payment without loss in value. Because the deposits in M2 that are not means of payment are quickly and easily converted into a means of​ payment, they are counted as money.

The monetary base is the sum of​ _______. The monetary base is equal to​ _______.

The​ Fed's liabilities together with coins issued by the Treasury make up the monetary base. The​ Fed's liabilities are the Federal Reserve notes and depository institution deposits. So the monetary base is the sum of Federal Reserve​ notes, coins, and depository institution deposits at the Fed.

The table sets out the data for an economy when the​ government's budget is balanced. If the​ Ricardo-Barro effect​ occurs, and if the​ government's budget balance becomes a deficit of ​$1.0 ​trillion, what is the real interest rate and the quantity of​ investment? Is there any crowding out in this​ situation? If the​ Ricardo-Barro effect​ occurs, and if the​ government's budget becomes a deficit of ​$1.0 trillion, the real interest rate is ----- percent a year and the quantity of investment is __________ There​ _____ crowding out in this situation because​ _____.

The​ Ricardo-Barro effect holds that the government budget deficit has no effect on the real interest rate or investment. So with a government budget deficit of ​$1.0 ​trillion, the real interest rate remains at 8.0 percent a year and the quantity of investment remains at ​$6.0 trillion. The​ Ricardo-Barro effect holds that the government budget deficit has no effect on the real interest rate or investment. So investment is the same no matter what the size of the deficit and there is no crowding out.

The ​crowding-out effect is the tendency for a government budget deficit to raise the​ _____ and​ _____ investment.

The​ crowding-out effect is the tendency for a government budget deficit to raise the real interest rate and decrease investment.

Wealth increases when the market value of assets rises—called capital gains. And the higher a​ household's wealth, other things remaining the​ same, the smaller is its saving. corporate equities deliver capital​ gains, which increases wealth

The demand for loanable funds increases and the supply of loanable funds increases. As a​ result, the equilibrium real interest rate​ ______ and the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds​ ______. The demand for loanable funds increases and the supply of loanable funds decreases. As a​ result, the equilibrium real interest rate​ ______ and the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds​ ______.

When the demand for loanable funds​ increases, the demand curve shifts rightward and when the supply of loanable funds​ increases, the supply curve shifts rightward. The increase in demand increases the real interest​ rate, and the increase in supply decreases the real interest rate. So the equilibrium real interest rate​ rises, falls, or remains the same. The increase in demand increases the equilibrium quantity of loanable​ funds, and the increase in supply increases the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds. So the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds increases. ---- When the demand for loanable funds​ increases, the demand curve shifts rightward and when the supply of loanable funds​ decreases, the supply curve shifts leftward. The increase in demand increases the real interest​ rate, and the decrease in supply increases the real interest rate. So the equilibrium real interest rate rises. The increase in demand increases the equilibrium quantity of loanable​ funds, and the decrease in supply decreases the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds. So the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds​ increases, decreases, or remains the same.

First​ Call, Inc., a smartphone​ company, plans to build a factory—one that costs ​$10 million if the real interest rate is 4 percent a​ year; a larger factory that costs ​$12 million if the real interest rate is 3 percent a​ year; or a smaller one that costs ​$8 million if the real interest rate is 5 percent a year. First Call expects its profit to double next year. Explain how this increase in expected profit influence First​ Call's demand for loanable funds. This increase in expected profit​ _______ the demand for loanable funds and brings​ _______ the demand for loanable funds curve.

When the expected rate of profit rises​, investment increases today. And when investment increases​, the quantity of loanable funds demanded at each real interest rate increases. The demand for loanable funds curve shifts rightward.

the central bank of the United States is the​ ______. The central bank of the United States performs many​ functions, one of which is that it​ _______.

the federal reserve system A central bank is a​ bank's bank and a public authority that regulates a​ nation's depository institutions and conducts monetary​ policy, which means that it adjusts the quantity of money in circulation and influences interest rates.

If the annual interest paid on a​ $500 loan is​ $25, the nominal interest rate is​ _____ percent per year. If the nominal interest rate is 5 percent per year and the inflation rate is 2 percent a​ year, the real interest rate is​ _____ per year.

the nominal interest rate is the number of dollars that a borrower pays and a lender receives in interest in a year expressed as a percentage of the number of dollars borrowed and lent. So the nominal interest rate is​ ($25/$500)*100 = 5 percent a year. The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted to remove the effects of inflation on the buying power of money.
