Question#02
(A)In the Keynesian cross, assume that the consumption function is given by:
C = 100 + 0.5 (Y-T)
If planned investment = 100
Government purchases and taxes are both 50
Then calculate the equilibrium level of income.
Solution:(This is just 4 an idea plz complete all the steps)
you can use the formula for this:
Y= C + I + G
Y = 100 + 0.5(Y – 50) + 100 + 50
after calculation we get
Y = 450
and Y is the Equibilium level of income
(B) Suppose that money demand function is:
(M/P)d = 1000 – 100r
Where r is the interest rate in percentage, money supply (M) is 1000 and
the
price level (P) is 2. What is the equilibrium interest rate?
Solution:
(M/P)d = 1000 – 100r
(1000 / 2) = 1000 - 100r
after calculation we get
r = 5
