Refer to the above diagrams. The numbers in parentheses after the AD1, AD2, and AD3 labels indicate the levels of investment spending associated with each curve. All figures are in billions. If the MPC for the economy described by the figures is 0.8:

an increase in the money supply from $80 to $100 will shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $50 billion at each price level.

The Federal Reserve Banks sell government securities to the public. As a result, the checkable deposits:

and reserves of commercial banks both decrease.

Refer to the above table. Suppose the legal reserve requirement is 10 percent and initially there are no excess reserves in the banking system. If the Fed wished to reduce the interest rate by 1 percentage point, it would:

Refer to the above market for money diagrams. If the interest rate was at 8 percent, people would:

buy bonds, which would cause bond prices to rise and the interest rate to fall.

Refer to the above table. An increase in the money supply of $20 billion will cause the equilibrium interest rate to:

fall by 2 percentage points.

Refer to the above diagrams. The numbers in parentheses after the AD1, AD2, and AD3 labels indicate the levels of investment spending associated with each curve, respectively. All numbers are in billions of dollars. If the interest rate is 4 percent and the Fed desires to reduce or eliminate demand-pull inflation, it should:

increase the interest rate from 4 percent to 6 percent.

increase the supply of Federal funds.

The opportunity cost of holding money:

varies directly with the interest rate.

The asset demand for money:

varies inversely with the rate of interest.

$460.

Refer to the above table. The amount of investment that will be forthcoming in this economy at equilibrium is:

$500.

Refer to the above diagrams. The numbers in parentheses after the AD1, AD2, and AD3 labels indicate the levels of investment spending associated with each curve, respectively. All numbers are in billions of dollars. If the interest rate is 8 percent and the goal of the Fed is full-employment output of Qf, it should:

decrease the interest rate from 8 to 6 percent.

Refer to the above diagrams. The numbers in parentheses after the AD1, AD2, and AD3 labels indicate the levels of investment spending associated with each curve. All figures are in billions. If aggregate demand is AD3 and the monetary authorities desire to reduce it to AD2, they should:

decrease the money supply from $120 to $100.

i2.

Refer to the above diagrams. The numbers in parentheses after the AD1, AD2, and AD3 labels indicate the levels of investment spending associated with each curve. All figures are in billions.

purchases of U.S. securities by the Fed in the open market

The discount rate is the interest:

rate at which the Federal Reserve Banks lend to commercial banks.

The desire to hold money for transactions purposes arises because:

receipts of income and expenditures are not perfectly synchronized.
