    Question.105 - Please use a word processor such as Microsoft Word, Apple Pages or OpenOffice for your answers. If you have trouble editing the graphs, you can also sketch them on paper, take pictures of them and then insert the pictures in your file. Please make sure that the graphs are readable. Also please also print your file to pdf and attach both files (e.g. the Word file and the pdf file, which is just a print of the Word file). PDF is more stable and readable independently from the source file. 1) Suppose that the Fed purchases from bank B some bonds in the open market and that, before the sale of bonds, bank B had no excess reserves.a) Describe what initially happens to the reserves of bank B.b) If bank B does not want to hold excess reserves, what will it do with the additional money received from the sale of bonds to the Fed?c) Why do we expect, at least in usual times, that the amount of checking deposits in the economy will go up? Describe briefly the various “rounds” of this process.d) Now suppose that minimum required reserve ratio for banks is 1/10. Also suppose that banks hold no excess reserves and that currency in circulation is unchanged from the purchase of bonds. If the Fed buys $20 billions of bonds from bank B, what will be the increase in checking deposits? 2) Describe in one or two sentences what the Fed funds rate is.b) Suppose that, some years from now, the Fed funds rate is 4% and that you are considering buying a car. You also intend to finance the purchase with a loan. Suppose that the Fed increases the Fed funds rate to 4.5% by selling bonds on the open market. Financially, is this a good news for you or  not? Explain why.3) a) Suppose that the face value of a 1-year bond is $100 and that no coupons are paid during the year. Suppose also that the price of the bond is $96. What is the yield of this bond approximately?b) Suppose that the face value of a 1-year bond is $100 and that no coupons are paid during the year. Suppose also that the yearly yield of this bond is 5%. What is approximately the price of the bond?c) Suppose that the face value of a 2-year bond is $100 and that no coupons are paid during the two years. Suppose also that the yearly yield of this bond is 5%. What is approximately the price of the bond?d) In b) and c) above the two bonds have different maturity but identical yield. Why do we usually think that the bonds with longer maturities will give higher yields? 4) a) Suppose that AD is strong because of high consumers and business optimism. For this reason, unemployment is below NAIRU. Represents this situation using an AS/AD graph (do not forget to distinguish between SRAS and LRAS).b) The Fed is concerned that this overheated economy will put pressure on prices and lead to a too high level of inflation. For this reason the Fed wants to engage in contractionary monetary policy, reducing AD, and so output, thereby increasing unemployment. What do you expect the Fed will do, sell Treasury bonds or buy Treasury bonds?c) Represent on a graph the effect of the Fed’s policy on the Fed funds rate. The graph should have the Fed funds rate on the vertical axis and it should clearly distinguish the old and the new equilbrium value of the Fed funds rate.d) Which components of AD does the Fed try to affect and how? 5) a) Draw a supply-demand diagram of the foreign exchange market for the dollar (valued in “euros”). Who demands dollars? Who supplies dollars?b) If, in more usual economic times (rather than a deep recession), the Fed were to announce an increase in the Fed funds rate, what would you expect to happen to the value of the dollar? Show your answer on the graph and briefly explain it. 6) a) U.S. payroll taxes were reduced in 2003. This reduction was temporary and due to expire at the end of 2010. In 2010 Congress decided to extend these cuts for two years. One of the rationale for this was that increasing taxes would have deepened the economic difficulties of the country. Make sense of this argument using the AS/AD framework (you can also use a graph here but you do not need to).b) In 2012 the Congress made these tax cuts permanent except for high incomes (more than $400,000 per year if single and more than $450,000 per year if married) whose taxes were increased. Explain why supply-siders would disagree with increasing the taxes on high-income individuals.Please use a word processor such as Microsoft Word, Apple Pages or OpenOffice for your answers.
