According to the liquidity preference theory, an increase in the overall price level of 10 percent

a)

increases the equilibrium interest rate, which in turn decreases the quantity of goods and services demanded

b)

decreases the equilibrium interest rate, which in turn increases the quantity of goods and services demanded

c)

increases the quantity of money supplied by 10 percent, leaving the interest rate and the quantity of goods and services demanded unchanged

d)

decreases the quantity of money demanded by 10 percent, leaving the interest rate and the quantity of goods and services demanded unchanged

2.

c)

the money supply is changing so as to keep the money market in equilibrium

extra income that a household consumes rather than saves

b)

extra income that a household either consumes or saves

c)

total income that a household consumes rather than saves

12.

Which of the following correctly explains the crowding-out effect?

a)

An increase in government expenditures decreases the interest rate and so increases investment spending

b)

An increase in government expenditures increases the interest rate and so reduces investment spending

c)

A decrease in government expenditures increases the interest rate and so increases investment spending

d)

A decrease in government expenditures decreases the interest rate and so reduces investment spending

13.

An increase in the MPC
