The multiplier effect

Economists refer to the series of induced increases in consumption spending that result from an initial increase in autonomous expenditures as the multiplier effect.

What is the federal​ government's budget relationship between expenditures and tax revenue.

If the federal​ government's expenditures are greater than its tax​ revenue, a budget deficit results. If the federal​ government's expenditures are less than its tax​ revenue, a budget surplus results.

What are required reserves

What are reserves

deposits that a bank keeps as cash in its vault or on deposit with the Federal Reserve.

A policy of lowering the tax rate on dividends and capital gains to increase investment is intended to result in

Long run supply side effects. Explanation:- Lower tax rate on dividend and capital gain will result in long-run supply side effects causing increase in savings & investment in the economy and thus,the capital formation in the economy will increase in the long-run. Further, the real interest rate in the economy will also decrease as a result of this policy of government of lowering taxes.

When the Federal Reserve increases the discount rateincreases the discount rate as a part of a contractionary monetary​ policy, there​ is:

A decrease in the money supply and an increase in the interest rate.

Suppose the economy is initially in​ long-run equilibrium. The government enacts a policy to decrease taxesdecrease taxes. In the​ short-run, this expansionary fiscal policy will​ cause:

A shift from AD 1AD1 to AD 2AD2 and a movement to point​ B, with a higher price level and higher output.

5A. If the required reserve ratio​ (RR) is 10​ percent, this bank currently holds $________ in excess reserves.

Suppose the economy is initially in​ long-run equilibrium. The Fed decides to sell bondssell bonds. In the​ short-run, this contractionary monetary policy will​ cause:

Initially, the economy is in long-run equilibrium. Now, Fed decides to sell bonds. This means that Fed is undertaking contractionary monetary policy. Such policy results in decrease in money supply and increase in interest rate. Increase in interest rate raise the cost of borrowing and leads to fall in investment and consumption demand backed by credit which in result leads to decrease in aggregate demand. So, contractionary monetary policy leads to decrease in aggregate demand or leftward shift in aggregate demand curve. If we take AD1 as initial aggregate demand curve and it moves to AD2 then this resembles rightward shift of aggregate demand curve which is not possible. So, AD2 is the initial aggregate demand curve and it has moved leftward to AD1 as a result of contractionary monetary policy. It has been provided that initially economy is in long-run equilibrium. This means, initially, initial aggregate demand curve, initial short-run aggregate supply curve, and long-run aggregate supply curve are intersecting at one common point. With AD2 being the initial aggregate demand curve, the common point of intersection can only be point A as only at this point AD2 curve intersect with other two curves (LRAS and SRAS) at one common point (point A). Thus, initially, economy is at point A with initial aggregate demand curve being AD2, initial short-run aggregate supply curve being SRAS2, and long-run aggregate supply curve being LRAS. So, with aggregate demand curve shifting leftward from AD2 to AD1, the economy, in short-run, moves to point D. The point of intersection of short-run aggregate supply curve, SRAS2 and new aggregate demand curve, AD1. This movement of economy will result in lower price level and lower output. So, in short-run, contractionary monetary policy will cause a shift from AD2 to AD1 and a movement to point D, with lower price level and a lower output.

What Is Monetary​ Policy?

Monetary policy are the actions the Federal Reserve takes to manage the money supply and interest rates to pursue macroeconomic policy goals.

Suppose the required reserve ratio is 13​% and a bank has the following balance​ sheet: This bank keeps required reserves of ​$_______ and excess reserves of ​$_______

Required reserves are equal to the required reserve ratio multiplied by the amount of​ deposits 0.13 x 11,500 = $1495 Excess reserves are equal to total reserves minus required​ reserves 2300 - 1495 = $805

12D. If the Fed uses monetary policy to keep real GDP at its​ full-employment level, the inflation rate in 2019 will be ______%

With contractionary monetary​ policy, the inflation rate in 2019 will be the change in the price level ​(116−​114) divided by the​ "original" price level of 114. Multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percent. 0.018 ×100 ​= 1.8%.

12C. If the Fed takes no policy​ action, the inflation rate in 2019 will be ________%

Without contractionary monetary​ policy, the inflation rate in 2019 will be the change in the price level ​(118−​114) divided by the​ "original" price level of 114. Multiply the result by 100 to express it as a​ percent: 0.035 ×100 ​= 3.5%

13A. If the Fed wants to keep real GDP at its potential level in​ 2019, it should use _____________ policy. The trading desk should be _____________ ​T-bills.

an expansionary, buying

Contractionary monetary policy is the Federal​ Reserve's interest rates to reduce inflation.
