Answer:

Transaction Demand for money: The quantity of money people hold for transaction purposes is called transaction demand for money. It depend on following factors

Nominal income of people: As the nominal income increases spending increases which causes

an increase in the demand for money holding.

Cost of holding money: The cost of money holding is the interest foregone in holding the money in hand. So if the nominal interest rate is higher people will prefer keeping money in banks etc so demand for money holding decreases.

Availability of substitutes: If people have cheaper alternative means of payment they will hold less money.

Portfolio Demand for Money: Money is one instrument that people can hold in their investment portfolio. The demand for holding money in portfolio is dependent on following factors:

Wealth: An increase in wealth increases the demand for money Return on alternative investments: As the return on alternative investments fall people hold more money.

Expected future interest rate: An increase in expected future interest rate increases holding demand for money

Riskiness of alternatives: Riskier the alternative investments greater the demand for money.

Liquidity: If alternative investments become more liquid demand for money decreases

Question 8: Distinguish between illiquidity and insolvency. Why is it difficult for a lender of last resort to tell insolvency from illiquidity? Does the distinction matter?
Answer:

Insolvent mean bankrupt or someone who has insufficient assets to cover their debts. Insolvent is not in position to pay its due bills

Illiquidity

In such a position where assets are not immediately or easily be converted into cash. Illiquid assets can be converted into cash, but usually only after a time or at lower value.

Insolvent is in hard time or not an position to revive its working condition compared to insolvency illiquidity is position where business has enough assets only thing is not immediately available. Lender of last resort can take those assets as security to provide the funds.

A government is considering changing its deposit insurance system from one in which deposits are implicitly guaranteed (that is, if a bank fails, people trust the government to put enough resources into the bank so that depositors will lose nothing) to one with an explicit ceiling. What would be the impact of such a change on depositors on bankers?

Bank will be having less money to business as they have to keep money as deposit. Due to keeping more money as required reserve banks will not be in position to lend more loans. It will reduce their business activity. Same time it will increase the liquidity of bank. People will trust then banks more, due to guaranty form Govt.Due to shortage of lending more money to public bank might charge more keeping demand and supply rule in mind. Cost of borrow from bank can increase.

Question 10: Explain how and why the components of aggregate demand depend on the real interest rate. Be sure to distinguish between the real and nominal interest rates, and explain why the distinction matters.
Answer:

It is helpful to think of aggregate demand as having two parts, one that is sensitive to real interest rate changes and one that is not Investment is the most important of the components of aggregate demand that are sensitive to changes in the real interest rate.

Output (Y)
Inflation (?)

An investment can be profitable only if its internal rate of return exceeds the cost of borrowing Consumption and net exports also respond to the real interest rate;

Consumption decisions often rely on borrowing, and the alternative to consumption is saving (higher rates mean more saving).

As for net exports, when the real interest rate in a country rises, her financial assets become attractive to foreigners, causing local currency to appreciate, which in turn means more imports and fewer exports (lower net exports)

While changes in real interest rate may have an impact on the government's budget by raising the cost of borrowing, the effect is likely to be small and ignorable.
