Question

4. Suppose that money demand is given by Md = $Y(0.25 - i) where $Y is $100. Also, suppose that the supply of money is $20. a. What is the equilibrium interest rate? b. If the Federal Reserve Bank wants to increase the equilibrium interest rate i by 10 percentage points from its value in part (a), at what level should it set the supply of money?

Step 1

25 - i) = $20 Solving for i, we get: 0.25 - i = 20/$Y i = 0.25 - 20/$Y Substituting $Y = $100, we get: i = 0.25 - 20/100 i = 0.05 or 5% Show more…
