Suppose an economy had aggregate demand components with the following relationships: Consumption spending, C=140+.60*(DY) Investment spending,I=25+.15*Y Government Spending, G= 0 Net Export Spending,X=0 Tax collections, Tx=0 a. What is the equilibrium income for this economy? b. If the government decided to increase G spending by 6, what would be the new equilibrium income for this economy? c. If instead the government decided to reduce Tx (taxes) by 10, what would be the new equilibrium income for the economy? d. If instead the government decided to increase G spending and Increase Tx (taxes) by 20, what would be the new equilibrium for this economy?

The aggregate demand function: yad =C+1+G₁ = 500+ 0.75Y is plotted on the graph to the right. The graph also shows the 45° line where aggregate output Y equals aggregate demand yad for all points. What happens to aggregate output if government spending rises by 100? The equilibrium level of output rises by $ billion. (Round your response to the nearest billion.) Consumption Expenditure, C ($ billions) 3000- 2800- 2600- 2400- 2200- 2000- 1800- 1600- 1400- 1200- 1000- 800- 600- 400- 200- 0- 0 yad =C+I+G₁ = 500 +0.75Y Y = yad 45° 400 800 1200 1600 2000 2400 2800 Disposable Income ($ billions)
suppose the government wishes to illuminate recessionary of a gdp of 100 billion in the MPC is .075. How much must the government increase in spending? Instead of increasing government spending by the amount you calculated what would be the effect of the government decreasing taxes by this amount explain?
Suppose that the economy is depicted by the following relationship: Expenditures =C+I+G+X where: C = $100+ 0.90 (Y-T) G = $600 T = $600 I = $100 X = $50 The economy is in equilibrium at a level of real GDP or income of $ Now suppose that the government decided to increase taxes by $300. What is the new equilibrium level of GDP or income? $
Please answer the following questions based on the given information: a = 50, MPC -0.8, 1-100, G-200, EX-100, IM- 50 (where a is the autonomous spending. MPC is the marginal propensity to consume, I is the investment, G is the government spending, EX is the export, and IM is the import) 1) What is the equilibrium level of output (income), Ye, in this economy? 50 Agg Expenditure C+I+G+NX- M+I+G+NX p Agg Expenditure Income (Real GOP) 2) Suppose the Ye (actual GDP) that you derived from the previous question is lower than the potential GDP level. Calculate the G' value to find how much the government spending is required to reach the potential GDP at 2,400? G 48 degree P" => ↑ C++G+Nxx Aus GDP AET-CH-GNX AEZ-C+I+G+NX Y, GDP)
What is the eventual effect on real GDP if the government increases its purchases of goods and services by $75,000? Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75. $ What is the eventual effect on real GDP if the government, instead of changing its spending, increases transfers by $75,000? Assume the MPC has not changed. $ An increase in government transfers or taxes, as opposed to an increase in government purchases of goods and services, will result in an identical eventual effect on real GDP. no change to real GDP. a larger eventual effect on real GDP. a smaller eventual effect on real GDP.
C = 450 + 0.4YI = 350G = 150X = 70Z = 35 + 0.1YT = 0.15YYf = 1550(Hint: use the multiplier method)Q.2.4 Calculate the tax revenue to the government of this country when the economyremains in equilibrium.Q.2.5 Calculate what the new equilibrium income should be if the government of thiscountry decides to cancel all taxes, implying the tax rate would now be 0%.Q.2.6 Before the government decreased the tax rate, how much of governmentspending was required to bring the economy to full employment?
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?
Why will a temporary tax increase be insignificant in reducing consumption expenditures by the amount expected a) Because people viewed the tax increase as permanent. b) Because people chose to increase their saving. c) Because people viewed the tax increase as temporary. d) consumption expenditures are not related to the level of taxation.
