1. Suppose that the money demand function is
(MP)d=600−75?(MP)d=600−75r
where r is the interest rate in percent.
The money supply M is $1500, and the price level P is fixed at 5.
Round answers to one place after the decimal when necessary.
a. Graph the supply and demand of real money balances by moving points A and B to graph the demand for money (MP)d(MP)d and moving points C and D to graph the supply of money (MP)s(MP)s:
b. Calculate the equilibrium interest rate. The equilibrium interest rate, r, equals:
c. What happens to the equilibrium interest rate, r, if the supply of money is raised from $1500 to $1725?
r =
d. If the central bank wants the interest rate to be 7.0 percent, what money supply should it set? Money supply = $
