Answer to Question 1

The effects are ambiguous. The increase in future Y will increase human wealth and cause C to increase. The increase in future rates will reduce the present value of future disposable income and reduce C.

Answer to Question 2

A reduction in taxes will cause an increase in disposable income and an increase in consumption. The rise in C will cause an increase in demand and the equilibrium level of output in the goods market will be higher. This is reflected in a rightward shift in the IS curve. Goods market events such as this will not cause a shift in the LM curve (only a movement along it).
