Question 7 Suppose a closed economy with no government spending which in equilibrium is producing an output and income of 2300. Suppose also that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.80, and that, if at full employment, the economy would produce an output and income of 3750 By how much would the government need to cut taxes (T) to bring the economy to full employment?

1. Provide a written conclusion on Fiscal Policy?
Suppose MPC equals 0.9, government taxes 30% of all incomes, and the marginal propensity to import equals 0.07. The economy's real GDP is currently $5,454 billion while its potential real GDP is $6,000 billion. Glven a horizontal SRAS curve, what change in government spending on goods and services would bring the economy to full employment real GDP? When doing the calculations, round the value for the multiplier to 2 decimal places, and round your final value for the change in G to the nearest billion.
