Suppose that in a closed economy with a public sector the
following relations apply: Consumption function: C = 200 + 0.60Yd
where (Υd = Y –T) Desirable investment: Ιp = 400 - 560r Government
expenditure: G = 250 Taxes: Τ = 50 Real money demand for
transactions: 0.5Y Real money demand for speculation: 600 - 2200r
Nominal amount of money: M = 1000 Price level: P = 1.25
A. Find the equilibrium in the commodity market (IS curve).
B. Find the balance in the money market (LM curve).
C. To determine algebraically and diagrammatically the income and
the equilibrium interest rate of the economy. (Note: Balance income
should be estimated using the LM curve function)
D. Suppose that an expansionary monetary policy is pursued, which
doubles the nominal amount of money. Find the new income and the
equilibrium interest rate of the economy. (Note: the estimate of
the new equilibrium income to be made through the function of the
LM curve)
