When planned expenditure is drawn on a graph as a function of income, the slope of the line is?

Between zero and one

In the Keynesian-cross model, actual expenditures equal

GDP

The following relationships describe the closed economy of Fredonia Y = C + I + G C = 69 + 0.8 (Y-T) I = 140 - 8r G = $55 billion T = $40 billion M = $1200 billion P = 3 Derive the IS equation (Y as a function of r)

Y = C + I + G Y = 69 + 0.8 (Y-40) + 140 - 8r + 55 Y = 1160 - 40r

The IS curve plots the relationship between interest rate and _____ that arises in the market for _______

national income; goods and services

In the Keynesian-cross model, if the MPC equals 0.75, then a $2 billion increase in government spending increases planned expenditures by ______ and increases the equilibrium level of income by _______

$2 billion; $8 billion Multiplier= 1/(1-MPC) Multiplier= 1/(1-0.75) Multiplier= 1/0.25 Multiplier is 4 Change in Income - 4 x 2 Billion

In the Keynesian-cross model, if the MPC equals 0.75, then a $3 billion decrease in taxes increases planned expenditures by _____ and increases the equilibrium level of income by _____

$2.25 billion; $9 billion Multiplier= 1/(1-MPC) Multiplier= 1/(1-0.75) Multiplier= 1/0.25 Multiplier is 4 New Consumption = 0.75 x 3 Billion = 2.25 Billion 2.25 Billion x 4 = 9 billion

Assume that the money demand function is (M/P)d = 2200 - 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

(M/P)d = 2200 - 200(7) = 2200-1400 Md/2 = 800 Md = 800 x 2 = 1600 Md = Ms Money Supply = 1600

The following relationships describe the closed economy of Fredonia Y = C + I + G C = 69 + 0.8 (Y-T) I = 140 - 8r G = $55 billion T = $40 billion M = $1200 billion P = 3 MPd= Y - 10r Derive the LM equation (Y as a function of r)

(M/P)d = Y - 10r (1200/3) = Y - 10r 400 = Y - 10r Y = 400 + 10r

Using the Keynesian-cross analysis, assume that the consumption function is given by C= 200 + 0.7 (Y-T). If planned investment is 100 and T is 100, then the level of G needed to make equilibrium Y equal 1000 is

AD = C + I + G = 200 + 0.7(1000 - 100) + 100 + G AD = 930 + G Equilibrium, Y = AD 1000 = 930 + G G = 70

In the Keynesian-cross analysis, if the consumption function is given by C = 200 + 0.7 (Y-T), and planned investment is 100, G is 100, and T is 100, then equilibrium Y is

Aggregate Demand = C + I + G = 200 + 0.7 (Y-100) + 100 + 100 = 400 + 0.7Y - 70 = 330 + 0.7Y Equilibrium, Y=AD Y = 330 + 0.7Y 0.3Y = 330 Y = 1100

In the Keynesian-cross model, fiscal policy has a multiplying effect on income because fiscal policy

Changes income, which changes consumption, which further changes income

When is the final exam?

The following relationships describe the closed economy of Fredonia Y = C + I + G C = 69 + 0.8 (Y-T) I = 140 - 8r G = $55 billion T = $40 billion M = $1200 billion P = 3 Solve for the equilibrium interest rate and output

IS = LM 1160 - 40r = 10r + 400 r = 15.2 Plug R into either IS or LM to find output Y = 1160 - 40(15.2) = 552 Y = 400 + 10(15.2) = 552

A 5 percent reduction in the money supply will, according to most economists, reduce prices 5 percent

In the long run but lead to unemployment in the short run

If a change in government regulations allows banks to start paying interest on checking accounts, this will

Increase the demand for money

In the Keynesian-cross model, if traces are reduced by 100, then planned expenditures ______ for any given level of income

According to the theory of liquidity preference, decreasing the money supply will _____ nominal interest rates in the short run, and, according to the Fisher effect, decreasing the money supply will ____ nominal interest rates in the long run

The following relationships describe the closed economy of Fredonia Y = C + I + G C = 69 + 0.8 (Y-T) I = 140 - 8r G = $55 billion T = $40 billion M = $1200 billion P = 3 Illustrate the equilibrium interest rate and output on the IS-LM diagram

Consider a closed economy to which the Keynesian-cross analysis applies. Consumption is given by the equation C = 200 + 2 / 3 (Y-T). Planned investment is 300, as are government spending and taxes If Y is 1500, what is planned spending? What is inventory accumulation of decumulation? Should equilibrium Y be higher or lower than 1500?

Planned spending = C + I + G = 200 + 2/3 (1500 - 300) + 300 + 300 = 1,600. Y is less than planned spending, inventory decumulation = 100 Equilibrium Y should be higher than 1,500

Supply of real balances exceeds the demand

Two identical countries, Country A and Country B, can each be described by a Keynesian-cross model. The MPC is 0.7 in each country. Country A decides to increase spending by $2 billion, while Country B decides to cut taxes by $2 billion In which country will the new equilibrium level of income be greater?

Tax Multiplier = -MPC/1-Mpc Tax Multiplier = -2.33 Government Spending Multiplier = 1/(1-MPC) Government spending Multiplier = 3.33 Country A = 2 x 3.33 = 6.66 Country B = -2 x -2.33 = 4.66 Equilibrium will be greater in country A
