advanced macro test 2
a bond that is due to mature in three years has a face value of 20,000 and pays 1500 in
interest per year, interest is paid once a year and compounded annually. If the market rate of
interest of securities on a similar risk and duration is 6% what is the value of this bond. -
correct answer-1500/(1.06) + 1500/(1.06)^2 + 1500/(1.06)^3 + 20000/(1.06)^3 = 20,801.9
A rapid increase in household wealth due for example to a stock market crash would cause -
correct answer-a downward shift of the economy's consumption function

answer-will cause economic agents to want to hold less money
an increase in income tax rates - correct answer-will cause the Keynesian multiplier to fall
An increase in interest rates - correct answer-will cause bond prices to fall
At the equilibrium level of aggregate output, what will be the level of consumption spending -
correct answer-Find tax bill
T = .06 x 406,804.73 = 24408.2838
Find Yd
Yd = Y - T = 406,804.73 - 24,408.2838 = 382,396.446
C = 15,000 + .92(382,396.446) = 366,804.73

will be the multiplier
