Question

Total Output                                                    Planned Aggregate Expenditures (Two-Sector Economy)
(Real GDP in billion dollars)                                                                               (in billions)

                   5,000                                                                                                         5,250
                   5,500                                                                                                         5,500
                   6,000                                                                                                         5,750
                   6,500                                                                                                         6,000
                   7,000                                                                                                         6,250

  a) If the current output rate is $5.0 trillion, what will tend to happen to business inventories, future output, and employment? 

 b)  If the current output rate is $6.5 trillion, what will tend to happen to inventories, future output and employment? 

 c)  What is the equilibrium rate of income/output of Timbuktu economy? 

 d) If the economy's full employment rate of output is $6.0 trillion, what will happen to the unemployment rate assuming that  it will persist into the future?

 e)  What would happen to the equilibrium level of output/income if there will be an autonomous increase in investment of $250 billion?
