the IS-LM model, work out the problems that follow.
C = 200 + 0.5Y
Ms = 500
P = 1
G = 540
Md = 0.5Y + 150 - 80r
I = 170 - 65r
a) Determine the equilibrium interest rate
b) Calculate the equilibrium level of income
b) A small open economy is described by the following equations
C= 50 + 0.65(YD)
I= 100-10r
NX = 160 – 42e
M/P = Y – 50r
G = 400
T= 100
M = 2500
P = 10
r*= 5
A) Derive and graph the IS* and LM* curves.
B) Calculate the equilibrium exchange rate, level of income, and net exports.
C) assume a fixed exchange rate. Calculate what happens to the exchange rate, the level of
income, net exports, and the money supply if the government increased Tax by 100. Use a
graph to explain what you find.
D) Assume a floating exchange rate. Calculate what happens to the exchange rate, the level
of income, net exports if Central bank increased nominal money supply to 3100. Use a
graph to explain what you find.

a) To find the equilibrium interest rate, we need to set the money supply equal to money demand:
Ms = Md
500 = 0.5Y + 150 - 80r
Substitute Y = C + I + G into the money demand equation:
500 = 0.5*(200 + 0.5Y) + 150 - 80r
500 = 100 + 0.25Y + 150 - 80r
Substitute Y = 100 + 0.5Y into the equation:
500 = 100 + 0.25*(100 + 0.5Y) + 150 - 80r
500 = 100 + 25 + 0.125Y + 150 - 80r
Rearranging the equation gives:
0.125Y + 25 - 80r = 350
0.125Y = 350 - 25 + 80r
0.125Y = 325 + 80r
Y = 2600 + 6400r
Now substitute Y = 2600 + 6400r into the equation for money demand:
500 = 0.5(2600 + 6400r) + 150 - 80r
500 = 1300 + 3200r + 150 - 80r
500 = 1450 + 3120r
3120r = -950
r = -0.304
So, the equilibrium interest rate is -0.304.
b) To calculate the equilibrium level of income, substitute the equilibrium interest rate into the money demand equation:
Md = 0.5Y + 150 - 80r
Md = 0.5Y + 150 - 80*(-0.304)
Md = 0.5Y + 150 + 24.32
Md = 0.5Y + 174.32
Next, substitute this money demand equation into the equilibrium condition (Ms = Md):
500 = 0.5Y + 174.32
0.5Y = 325.68
Y = 651.36
Therefore, the equilibrium level of income is 651.36.

Ms = Md
500 = 0.5Y + 150 - 80r
Substitute Y = C + I + G into the money demand equation:
500 = 0.5*(200 + 0.5Y) + 150 - 80r
500 = 100 + 0.25Y + 150 - 80r
Substitute Y = 100 + 0.5Y into the equation:
500 = 100 + 0.25*(100 + 0.5Y) + 150 - 80r
500 = 100 + 25 + 0.125Y + 150 - 80r
Rearranging the equation gives:
0.125Y + 25 - 80r = 350
0.125Y = 350 - 25 + 80r
0.125Y = 325 + 80r
Y = 2600 + 6400r
Now substitute Y = 2600 + 6400r into the equation for money demand:
500 = 0.5(2600 + 6400r) + 150 - 80r
500 = 1300 + 3200r + 150 - 80r
500 = 1450 + 3120r
3120r = -950
r = -0.304
So, the equilibrium interest rate is -0.304.
b) To calculate the equilibrium level of income, substitute the equilibrium interest rate into the money demand equation:
Md = 0.5Y + 150 - 80r
Md = 0.5Y + 150 - 80*(-0.304)
Md = 0.5Y + 150 + 24.32
Md = 0.5Y + 174.32
Next, substitute this money demand equation into the equilibrium condition (Ms = Md):
500 = 0.5Y + 174.32
0.5Y = 325.68
Y = 651.36
Therefore, the equilibrium level of income is 651.36.
