Group 1 : Mrs Hopeful arrived to Smithia with some gold , which she immediatly exchanged for $ 7,000 .
[Assumptions : Discount Rate = Inflation Rate = Taxes = waste = 0 , Bank = Costless Robot , All trade Via loans .]
Let Y = Income , S = Saving ‘ under mattress ‘ = 10 % , D = Deposit , R = Reserve Ratio = 4 % , L = Loan , C = Cash , Sm = money supply , MB = Monetary Base .
(A) Compute the multiplier that drives Smithia’s economy .
(B) Compute all of the above ( Y , S , etc ) within a year assuming the velocity ( V ) of money ( V = the number of times money changes hands ) is 6 .
(C) Compute all of the above ( Y , S etc ) within a year assuming that V = 12 .
(D) Redo (b) or (c) above assuming the V = infinity .
Group 2 : Smithians want to build a River Dam subject to the following Cost / Benefit idea :
Initial cost ( i . e . , engineering services services and materials ) = $ 700 .
Annual operating cost ( i . e general maintenance ) = $ 50 .
Annual benefits : $ 60 , Inflation Rate = 3% , Discount rate : 10 % , Useful economic life : 40 years .
Would you advise or against the investment and why ?

Group 3 : Output ( Q ) and price ( P ) date for four goods produced and sold in smithians given in the table below ( 2007 = Base year ) .
(A) Compute the inflation rate based on the Deflator Index ( DI ) and the consumer Price Index ( CPI ) .
(B) Graph , inthe same time diagram , nominal GDP ( NGDP) and real GDP ( RGDP ) .

Group 4 : An economy’s macroeconomy is described by the following model :
Y = C + I + G+ X -M , C = 500 + 0.97 (YD) , YD = Y – T , T = 300 + 0.25Y , I = 600 , G = 1000 , X – M = 0
(A) Derive the G multiplier .
(B) The Federal Budget ( F.B ) is as shown below ; the economy needs AY – 12,000 . What should be the impact of the “G” policy on the budget ?
F.B.
| T = 900 | `G = 800 |
