- T Normal 1 No Spac. Heading 1 Headin Paragraph Q1:You are given the following income-expenditures model for an economy: Consumption C = 300 + .64Yd Tax (T) = $60 %3D Government expenditure G= $100 Investment (I) = $120 %3D From above data calculate the follows: 3. At the equilibrium level of income, what is the amount of savings?arrow_forward2. Consumption function: C=500+0.8Yd, net tax: T=500, governmentspending: G=500, investment: I=1200, export: X=500 and imprt: M=700. According to this; a) Calculate the equilibrium level of output(Ye). b) Calculate the consumption and saving at Ye. c) Find the change in equilibrium level of output(Ye) if government spending increase 200. Use governmentspending multiplier.arrow_forwardIf mpc is 0.5 what the mps and why?arrow_forward
- Need help what formulas are used to answer questions please show step by step Assume the MPC is 0.75 and policy makers have targeted real GDP to decrease by $300 billion. By how much must taxes be increased to achieve this goal? Assume the MPC is 0.70 and the government increases spending on public school programs by $20 billion. What is the value of the initial impact on real GDP? What is the value of the total impact on real GDP?arrow_forward1) Following is information for the economy of Donut. All units are million dollars. Their autonomous consumption is $500, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6. Investment spending is constant at $300, and government expenditure is constant at $200. Exports are constant at $100 and imports are constant at $230. Net taxes are constant at $100. Calculate and state your answers for the following questions. A.. What is the value of private saving in this economy when the real GDP is $500? B..What is the value of autonomous aggregate expenditure i.e. AE0? C..What is the size of the multiplier in this economy? D... What is the value of aggregate planned expenditure when real GDP is $1000?arrow_forwardAggregate Expenditures and Multipliers Assignment a. Using the aggregate expenditure function above, what is the current level of real GDP? b. Using the aggregate expenditure function above, what would be the level of real GDP if the aggregate expenditure function shifted up by $0.2T? c. If Investment expenditures increase by $300B and MPC is equal to 0.90, what will be the increase in real GDP? d.

- Suppose that the government allocates $1 billion for new roads. It also raises taxes by $1 billion to keep the deficit from growing. The absolute value of the government purchase multiplier is 3.33 and that of the tax multiplier is 2.33. What is the effect on equilibrium GDP? GDP does not change. ● GDP increases by $ 2.33 billion. GDP increases by $3.33 billion ⒸGDP increases by $1 billion.arrow_forwardQuestion 37 Assume the MPS is 0.25. Assuming only the multiplier effect matters, a decrease in government purchases of $100 billion will a. decrease Real GDP by $100 billion. b. increase Real GDP by $133.33 billion. c. decrease Real GDP by $400 billion. d. increase Real GDP by $400 billion. e, decrease Real GDP by $133.33 billion. f. none of the above is correct.arrow_forward3 In the definition of marginal propensity to consume, marginal refers to ______.arrow_forward

The economy goes into a recession, so the government increases government spending by 40 million to try to expand the economy. a. Calculate the change in output (AY) from the increase in government spending (AG). b. The balanced budget amendment requires the government to also raise taxes by 40 million. Calculate change in output (AY) from the tax hike.arrow_forwardThe classification of government spending as an investment or having an investment-effect depends on: a. How the spending affects current consumption. b. How the spending affects future productivity. c. How the spending affects current stock prices. d.
