Y = C + I + G + (X-M) Equilibrium condition
C = 2000 -f' 0.75Yd Consumption equation
I = 4000 Investment expenditure
G = 4100 Government Expenditure
X = 2800 Export
M = 400 + 0.25Y Import equation
T = 100 + 0.3Y Tax equation
Yd = disposable Income
Required:

Suppose the maximum annual contribution to such accounts is $5,000 per person. Now suppose there is an increase in the maximum contribution, from $5,000 to $8,000 per year. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. This change in the tax treatment of saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to and the level of investment spending to Scenario 2: An investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. Suppose the government repeals a previously existing investment tax credit. Shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change. The repeal of the previously existing tax credit causes the interest rate to and the level of investment to Scenario 3: Initially, the government's…arrow_forwardsupply equation is Y - Ypot + 80 (P-Pe), where Ypot is the potential level of output. In 2016, the population was 400 million, and the structure of the economy was described by the following equations for household consumption behavior and taxes received: C = 100+ 0.8DI, and T = 0. where all monetary values are in billions of dollars. Government spending was fixed at $1700 billion, and firm's investment behavior was fixed at $800 billion. Trading is allowed in this economy and in 2016, trading occurred such that the trade account was balanced. That is, net exports (X-IM) was equal to zero. (Question 15 of 20) Now consider that in in the following year (2017), the government decided to implement a policy aimed at moving the economy to full employment. In its decision to move the economy to full employment, they used government spending as the policy tool. The structure and fixed spending behaviors remain the same as they were in 2016, except for government spending. In addition, changes…arrow_forward
