1. The following equations describe an economy:
Consumption : C = 30 + 0.9YD
Investment : I = 500 - 14i
Government Spending : G = 200
Transfer Payments: TR = 200
Taxes: TA = 0.2Y
LM Curve : Y = 2,500 + 100i
Re al Money Demand : L = kY - hi
Money Suppy : MS = 1,500
Price Level: P = 2
where Y is income, i is the percentage of interest rate, YD is the disposal income, and k and h are parameters that govern the real money demand.
(a) What are the values of (i) marginal propensity to consume out of disposal income and (ii) marginal propensity to consume out of total income? Show your work. (i) = 0.9, (ii) = 0.72
(b) Derive the IS equation for the economy. Show your work.
(c) Find the values of (i) k and (ii) h that are consistent with the money market equilibrium. Show your work.
Please answer (b) and (c). Answer (a) provided.
