Consider an economy described by the following equations: C = 300 + 0.90 (Y – T) (Consumption) I = $200 (Investment) G = $300 (Government spending) T = $200 (Taxes) Determine the equilibrium level of national income. Suppose government spending increases to $400. What is the new level of income? What is the government spending multiplier? Suppose taxes increase to $300. What is the new level of income? What is the government tax multiplier? Based on your answers to (b) and (c), does the balanced budget multiplier theorem hold?
Assume the following: • Tax Rate (T) = 0.25Y Consumption (C) = $150 +0.9(YT) • Investment (1) = $200 Government (G) = $100 Exports (X) = $500 Imports (M) = 0.15Y If investment increases from $200 to $300 by how much will aggregate expenditures increase? (Round your answer to a whole number) Provide your answer below:
In February 2020, 15,300 people were employed, 2,700 were unemployed, and 7,000 people were not in the labor force. During March 2020, 160 people lost their jobs and didn't look for new ones, 140 people quit their jobs and retired, 800 unemployed people were hired, 100 people stopped looking for jobs and quit the labor force, and 700 people entered the labor force to look for work. a. Calculate for February 2020 i. The unemployment rate ii. The employment-to-population ratio b. Calculate for the end of March 2020 i. The number of people unemployed ii. The number of people employed iii. The unemployment rate
Suppose an economy is described by the following equations: Y = C + I + G + X – M C = 14 + 0.60Yd I = 20 G = 20 X = 15 M = 5 +0.1Y T = 20 + 0.4Y Where Y is domestic income Yd is private disposable income C is aggregate consumption spending T is government tax revenue I is investment spending G is government spending E represents exports M represents imports of goods and services. (a) Find out the equilibrium value of income. (b) What is the value of export multiplier?
Suppose the interest on the debt was $700 billion. If interest is paid domestically, 90% will be spent domestically (the remainder is spent on foreign goods). If interest is paid to the foreign sector, only 10% is spent here (the remainder is spent in foreign countries). Every dollar collected in axes to pay the interest cause domestic spending to fall 90 cents. The spending multiplier is 2. d) What is the net impact on GDP if all interest is paid domestically?
Suppose an economy is described by the following equations: Y = C + I + G + X – M C = 14 + 0.60Yd I = 20 G = 20 X = 15 M = 5 +0.1Y T = 20 + 0.4Y Where Y is domestic income Yd is private disposable income C is aggregate consumption spending T is government tax revenue I is investment spending G is government spending E represents exports M represents imports of goods and services. (a) If the equilibrium national income is less than the full-employment level of income by N$100, what should be the increase in government spending or in exports to attain the full-employment level of income? (b) With a help of a diagram explain and discuss life cycle hypothesis.
Consider the following information about an economy. C=100+b(Y-50-0.25Y); I=50, G=50, X=10, M=5+0.1y, t=0.25Y, MPC=0.8 Find equilibrium national income Find the foreign trade multiplier What components are excluded in calculating national income and why? [ What is the effect of an increase in t of 0.3 on the equilibrium income and the multiplier?
For the next three questions, consider a closed economy with the following information: Economic investment = $4500 • Private savings = $3000 Output (income) = $16,000 • Consumption = $11,000 This economy has no transfer payments; in other words, total taxes and "net taxes" are the same thing. Carefully following all numeric instructions, calculate this economy's government purchases (G).
Suppose that autonomous consumption (a) is 300, private investment spending (I) is 420, government spending (G) is 400 , Net taxes (T) are 400 and marginal propensity to consume (b) is 80 %, and marginal tax rate (t) is 25 % . By using the above information: a) Find the equilibrium value of national income and show it on a graph. b) Suppose that the potential income level is 2500 in the economy. In this case, what kind of fiscal policy you can use to reach the full employment level. (show this numerically and explain it on your graph) Thank you.
4) Calculate the values for government purchases (G), private domestic saving (S), and private domestic investment (I) from the following information (all variables are in billions of dollars). National income Y = 5,200 Disposable income Consumption Budget Deficit Net Exports YD = 4,400 C = 4,100 BD = 150 NX = 110

Question 17 – Question 20: In this question, interest rate and prices are held fixed, and the economy can be described by the income-expenditure model. Consumption: C = 190 + 0.8YD; where YD = disposable income Investment: I = 180 – 50i, where i = 0.1 (10% & it is held fixed) Government spending: G = 183 Taxes: T = 272 Transfers: TR = 57 Exports: X = 18 Imports: IM = 24 Question 17 If the current level of output is 1975, find the levels of national savings and unplanned investment.
