Answer:

If the real money demand is greater than the real money supply, interest rates must rise to reach equilibrium in the money marke

kondaur [170]

Answer:

2. False

Explanation:

The market for money is like the market for any other good: if demand is higher than supply, then, the price of money (the interest rate), will have to be lowered, so that money becomes cheaper and more abundant, and supply and demand become equal and reach equilibrium.

In this case, the centrla bank needs to lower the interest rates by buying bonds. When the central bank buys bonds, it prints more money that is put in the market, effectively increasing the supply of money, and lowering the interest rate in the meantime.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Using the compounding formula we can calculate the amount that I will earn by calculating the difference between the Future value of the investment and the amount invested.

Step 1 Find Future Value

FV = Present Value * (1+r)^n

Future Value = $750,000 * (1+9%)^1

FV = $817,500

Step 2 Find the Difference between he Future value of the investment and the amount investment

And the amount invested is $750,000

The amount I can withdraw = FV less The amount invested

The amount I can withdraw = $817,500 - $750,000 = $67,500

So the amount that I will earn and I can withdraw annualy is $67,500.
