Exercise D24 Compare two policies: a tax cut on income or an increase in government spending on roads and bridges. What are both the short-term and longâ€”term impacts of such policies on the economy?
DI, C and S Given the following income, spending, and savings data, please answer the following questions: Savings (S) Disposable Income (DI) 0 $ $ 50000 $100000 $150000 d. Consumption (C) $ 40000 $ 70000 $100000 $130000 a. Solve for savings at each level of disposable income (DI) and place the values in the blanks above. b. Solve for the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) between each disposable income level. c. Although you were not asked to do so in this example, whenever solving for the APC, you should find that the APC decreases as the DI rises. Why would the APC decrease when the consumption values continue to increase as disposable income increases? State the value for the break level of income.

6) Suppose the economy is closed and is characterized by the following behavioral equations: C=C₁+C₁YD Y₁ = Y-T I=b₁ + b₂Y a. Government spending and taxes are constant. Solve for the equilibrium output. What is the value of the multiplier?

For the multiplier to be positive what condition must (c₁ +b₁ ) satisfy? Explain your answers? b. Suppose that the parameter bo, sometimes called business confidence, increases. How will the equilibrium output be affected? Will investment change by more or less than the change in bo? Why? What will happen to national saving?
