1. Aggregate expenditures and income
The following table shows consumption (C), investment (1), government spending (G), and net exports (X-M) in a hypothetical economy for various
levels of real GDP (Y). Assume that the price level remains unchanged at all levels of income. All figures are in billions of dollars.
Compute aggregate expenditures for each income level and fill in the last column In the following table.

The following graph shows real GDP on the horizontal axis and aggregate expenditures (AE) on the vertical axis. The orange line (square symbols)
represents a 45-degree (Y-AE) line.

Suppose the Japanese economy has been experiencing slow growth. As a result, the Prime Minister, who thinks John Maynard
Keynes was the greatest economist ever, has decided to increase government spending. The Prime Minister asks the head of
the economic council to determine the increase in government spending necessary to bring the economy to full employment.
Assume there is a GDP gap of 1 trillion yen and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.60.
What advice should the head of the economic council give the Prime Minister?
O The recessionary gap is equal to 400 billion yen.
O The inflationary gap is equal to 400 billion yen.
O The recessionary gap is equal to 625 billion yen.
O The inflationary gap is equal to 625 billion yen.
