Use the Keynesian Model to answer this set of questions. Suppose that in the economy under consideration the consumption function can be written as C=200+.8(Y-T). Furthermore, you know that taxes are autonomous and equal to $10. Now, suppose that investment spending is equal to $50 at every level of disposable income and government spending is constant and equal to $100 at every level of disposable income, suppose that (X-M) is constant and equal to $20 at every level of disposable income. (a)Draw a graph of the consumption function with respect to disposable income. Measure/show consumption spending on the vertical axis and disposable income on the horizontal axis (b) Calculate equilibrium national income Y, from the information given. (c) From the information given above is the government running a deficit or surplus budget? Explain why.

Which of the following statements about the Keynesian framework are accurate? a)Keynes posited a linear Consumption function C=Ca + mpcYd, where C is total desired consumption spending, Ca is consumption spending independent of income and Yd is disposable income and mpc is marginal propensity to consume b) In the C=Ca +mpcYd the Ca is the vertical axis intercept parameter, and mpc is the slope parameter. c) Keynes also posited that Investment spending was a function of expectations and the interest rate. d) In the Keynesian investment function the firm's estimated profitability of potential investment projects were determined by expectations of future sales and costs. e) Businesses would invest in those projects whose estimated profitability was greater than the market rate of interest. f) If the firms don't have the cash, they will borrow funds and earn the difference between the rate of return on the project and the lower market rate of interest. If they have more cash than needed…
