, Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT?
Select one:
A. When firms increase their spending on capital goods, it implies that the expected return rate of
these investment projects is higher than the market interest rate.
B. When we introduce investment as an endogenous variable to our goods market model our
equilibrium equation changes from Y = Z = c0 + c(Y – T) + Ī + G to
Y = Z = c0 + c(Y – T) + I(Y,i) + G.
C. In the goods market model, investment spending is regarded as an autonomous variable, but
according to our analysis in the IS-LM model, the investment function will change from I = Ī to I
= I(Y, i).
D. Consumption is a positive function of the level of output and income, whereas investment is a
positive function of the level of output and income and the interest rate.
