What is the equation for the aggregate demand curve?

What are the general equilibrium values of output, consumption, investment, real interest rate and price level?

c.) Suppose T = G = 330 and M = 9000

What is the equation for the aggregate demand curve?

What are the general equilibrium values of output, consumption, investment, real interest rate and price level?

Explanation / Answer

a. IS curve Equation is same as total output equal to aggregate demand.

Y = C + I + G

Y = 1275 + 0.5(Y-T) – 200r + 900 – 200r + 450

Put T = 450

Y = 1275 + 0.5Y - 225 - 400r + 1350

Y - 0.5Y = 2400- 400r

1. Y = 4800 - 800r is IS equation.

LM equaiton, Real Money demand (M/P) = L

Substitute all given values, 9000 / P = 0.5Y – 200i

0.5Y = 9000/P + 200i

2. LM Equaton, Y = 18000/P + 400i

3. AD equation, Y = C + I + G = Y = 1275 + 0.5Y - 225 - 400r + 1350?

It is given that full employemnt GDP = Y = 4600

4600 = 4800 - 800r

800r = 200

r = 0.25 (Real Interest rate)

Use LM equation r = i = 0.25 and Y = 4600

4600 = 18000/P + 400x0.25

4500 = 18000/P

P = 4 (Price Level)

C = 1275 + 0.5(Y-T)

Y = 4600 and T = 450

C= 1275 + 0.5 x (4600-450)

C = 3350 (Consumption)

I = Y - C - G = 4600 - 3350 - 450 = 800

Investment = 800
