For the money demand function, we assumed that money demand depends on income and interest rate. Consider an economy where money demand does not depend on income and is only a function of interest rate.
Md = L(i)
Suppose that the economy is open and on a flexible exchange rate:
(a) Draw the money demand and supply curves with money demand and supply on x-axis and interest rate on y-axis.
(b) Show what happens to money demand and supply curves if income changes.
(c) Derive the LM curve.
(d) Derive the AD curve.

Consider the property tax model. Assume that housing supply
curve is upward sloping. Draw the following two diagrams.
1) a diagram showing equilibrium before the property tax on
housing. Indicate equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus,
and producer surplus on the diagram.
2) a diagram showing how equilibrium changes due to the property
tax on housing. Specifically, mark the original equilibrium before
tax, the new equilibrium after tax, tax burdens borne by developer
and households, consumer surplus, producer surplus, government tax
revenue, and deadweight loss due to the tax.

Both Bond A and Bond B have 7 percent coupons and are priced at par value. Bond A has 7 years to maturity, while Bond B has 18 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percentage points, what is the difference in percentage changes in prices of Bond A and Bond B? (i.e., Bond A - Bond B). The bonds pay coupons twice a year.
(A negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
