Consider an economy with a constant nominal money​ supply, a
constant level of real output Y​ = 250​, and a constant real
interest rate r​ = 5​%. Suppose that the income elasticity of money
demand is 1.20 and the interest elasticity of money demand is
−0.05.
a. By what percentage does the equilibrium price level differ
from its initial value if output increases to Y​ = 275.00 ​(and r
remains at 5​%​)?
b. By what percentage does the equilibrium price level differ
from its initial value if the real interest increases to r​ =
5.50​% ​(and Y remains at 250​)?
c. Suppose that the real interest rate increases to r​ = 5.50​%.
By what percentage would real output have to increase for the
equilibrium price level to remain at its initial​value?
