      Question

      Consider an economy described by the following

      equations:  C = 100 + 0.6 ∗ (Y − T) (consumption function)  I = 200 − 1000 ∗ r (investment function)  G = T = 100 (government purchase and tax) where Y is the national income and r is the interest rate. Derive the IS curve. 
      A 0.4Y + 1000r = 340 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 0.6Y + 1000r = 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 0.4Y + 1000r = 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 0.6Y + 1000r = 340 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Equalize the planned expenditure and actual expenditure to obtain an equation that relates Y and r.

      The IS curve can be derived as 0.4Y + 1000r = 340.
