Given the following equations:
C=500 +0.8(1-.025y)
I = 900-50r
G=800

Solution Summary

Calculate equilibrium Y in this case.

Solution Preview

first solve for AE.

We need to know which constants are subtracted from the equation:
= taxes become negative, and so does imports

The system of equations now becomes:
C=800+0.6y
I = 900-50r
G=800
T = - 100
X = 350
M = -150-0.15y (make sure to subtract both parts of the equation)

So all you do is add all the constants and you get:
AE=2300 +0.45y -050r

Now from here we can get the IS curve:

we set AE= Y
Y = 2300 +0.45y -050r

group all common terms together
y-0.45y=2300-50r
0.55y=2300-50r
solving for y we get:
y=4181.82-91r

What does this mean? IS is the equilibrium equation for the goods market. Every time r increase by 1%, y should increase by 91 units.

Now how go we get the LM curve?

We take the demand for money and ...
