Robinson Pizza Company agreed to buy 25 pounds of mozzarella
cheese from the Clemens Cheese Factory for $5 per pound. When the
cheese was delivered, Robinson discovered that one 10 pound block
of cheese was a bit moldy and, he believed, unusable. Clemens sent
Robinson a bill for $125 and demanded payment. Robinson called up
Clemens and refused to pay that much but indicated that he was
willing to pay $75. Clemens said “Not enough. Give me $80 and I
won’t sue.” Robinson said, “OK. I agree. I’ll pay you $80 to settle
this dispute.” Robinson sent Clemens a check for $80. Clemens
signed the check and deposited it in his savings account. A week
later Clemens sued Robinson for what he believed was the remaining
$45. (Please read both part (a) and part (b) before answering
either question).
a. .Judgment for whom? Explain.
b. Would your answer to (a) be different if Clemens had written
“without prejudice” on the back of the check before he deposited
it? Explain.

Given the following economy:
Y = C(Y - T) + I(r) + G
C(Y - T) = a + b(Y - T)
I(r) = c - dr
M/P = L(r,Y)
L(r,Y) = eY - fr
i. Solve for Y as a function of r, the exogenous variables G and T, and the model's parameters a, b, c, and d.
ii. Solve for r as a function of Y, M, P, and the parameters e and f.
iii. Derive the aggregate demand curve. This solves for Y as a function of P, the exogenous variables M, G, and T; and the model's parameters. This expression should not contain r.
Hint: For part iii. substitute result from ii. into result from i.
