3. Consider an economy described by the following: C' = 3.25 trillion; I' = 1.3 trillion; G' = 3.5 trillion; T' = 3.0 trillion; NX' = -1.0 trillion; f = 1; b = 0.75; d = 0.3; x = 0.1; ? = 1 and r' = 1.
A. Assume that ? = 1. What is the real interest rate, equilibrium level of output, consumption, planned investment, and net exports?
B. Suppose the Fed increases r' to r' = 2. Calculate what happens to the real interest rate, equilibrium level of output, consumption, planned investment, and net exports.
