Construct an MI/MD graph based on current interest rate information. Write a paragraph explaining what is happening and determine if there is a problem in the economy. If there is a problem, clearly state what it is. b. Consider the Leading Indicator Information and determine what it predicts about changes in total spending In a paragraph, analyze cach of them, what the majority predicts and determine if Macroeconomic Policy should be used, stating why or why not. c. If Macroeconomic Policy is appropriate, write a paragraph recommending Macroeconomic Policy to help remedy this situation Be sure to indicate which kind and mode of Macroeconomic Policy is used, which tools are used and give specifics on how they will be used, including impact on relevant macroeconomic variables. Additionally, show and summarize the effects of it on another AD/AS graph. Also show the effect on the earlier constructed MI/MD graph where applicable. If Macroeconomic Policy is not appropriate, instead write a paragraph to explain why it's not appropriate. Additionally, show and summarize how that is the case on another AD/AS graph.
