a) The Monetary Policy (MP) curve has income, \( Y \) on the horizontal axis and real interest rate, \( r \), on the vertical axis. Explain what the MP curve shows. What determines its slope? What determines movement along the MP curve? (You do not need to show this mathematically). [ 8 marks] b) Assume the government wants to increase \( Y \), without increasing \( r \). Using the IS-MP model show how the government can achieve this goal. [ 5 marks] c) Assume the MP curve is given by \( r=1.0+0.5 \pi \), where \( \pi \) is the inflation rate. The IS curve is given by \( Y=14-r \). Derive the equation of the aggregate demand curve. What does the aggregate demand curve look like? If inflation is \( 10 \% \) what is the level of output? [10 marks] d) What potential problems may cause policy makers to worry about using the IS-MP model. [7 marks]
