Consider a closed economy that is described by the following functions:
C = 20 + 0.5Y D
T x = 10
T r = 40
I = 100 ? 10 · i
G = 40
where i is the interest rate in the economy.
Q1. Suppose originally i = 1. Find equilibrium output. Illustrate on the Keynesian cross diagram.
Q2.Suppose now the interest rate increases to i = 2. Find new equilibrium output. Illustrate the change on the Keynesian cross diagram.
Q3.Suppose now the interest rate increases to i = 5. Find new equilibrium output. Illustrate the change on the Keynesian cross diagram.
Q4. Depict combinations of interest rates and output you found in Q1-Q3 in (Y, i) coordinates. Connect the dots and obtain the IS curve. Explain how the IS curve is related to the goods market.
