Consider the following economy:

Labor supply: N_t= 90

Capital stock: K_t = 90

Government spending: G_t = 20

Tax collections: T_t = 20

Production function: Y_t = 2(K_t)^0.5 (N_t)^0.5

Real money demand L_t = 2Y_t - 200r_t

Consumption function: C_t = 16 + 0.8(Yd)_t

Domestic price level: P_t = 4

Investment function: I_t = 25 - 50r_t

Nominal money supply: M_t = 1296
