You know that disposable income is $18 trillion in 2020. Consumption is $13.5 trillion, investment is $4 trillion, and the government budget deficit (G-T) is $2 trillion. Calculate the size of the trade balance (in $ trillion). Note: A surplus is a positive number, a deficit is a negative number. Start with the national income identity and add taxes such that you have expressions for disposable income (Y-T) and the government budget deficit.

Assume that the government is implementing an expansionary fiscal policy and as a result has increased borrowing.  At the same time, the central bank is carrying out a contractionary monetary policy.  As a result, we can expect: Interest rates would rise substantially and private investments would be significantly reduced. Interest rates would not change substantially as the 2 policies counterbalance each other, and private investments would not be significantly reduced. Interest rates and private investments would rise. Interest rates and private investments would fall.

Of the four choices below, which causes a shift in the Supply of dollars to the right?   A. An expansionary fiscal policy that raised U.S. income and increased U.S. imports.B. An expansionary fiscal policy that raised U.S. income and reduced U.S. imports.C. A contractionary fiscal policy that reduced U.S. income and lowered U.S. imports.D. A contractionary fiscal policy that reduced U.S. income and increased U.S. imports.

Consider the following hypothetical data for the U.S. economy in 2020 (in trillions of dollars), and assume that there are no statistical discrepancies, zero net incomes earned abroad, and zero taxes on production and imports of net subsidies. Category Category Value $2.6 Exports 0.8 Net transfers and interest earnings 0.8 Nonincome expense items 0.8 Imports 8.1 Corporate taxes 1.2 Social security contributions 11.7 Government spending Value $1.3 Corporate profits before taxes deducted Proprietorial income 1.9 Rent 1.6 Interest 1.7 Wages Depreciation Consumption 0.6 2.2 1.7 a. Calculate the gross domestic income. S trillion. (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.) Calculate GDP. S trillion. (Enter your response rounded to one decimal place.)

The two ways in which deficit spending can impose a burden on future generations are: a)by requiring future generations to face lower government spending and to utilize a smaller stock of human capital. b)by substituting private goods for public goods and thereby benefiting only large businesses. c)by substituting private goods for public goods and thereby shifting resources to foreign residents. d)by requiring future generations to face higher taxes and to work with a lower accumulated stock of capital goods.

No. 6 Consider the following equations for this particular economy. C = 100+ 0.75Yd I = 150 G = 250 T = 200 X = 100 Q = 0.25Yd a. What is the equilibrium level of income of this economy? Is the trade balance in deficit or surplus? By how much? b. Suppose there is an increase in government expenditures by 50. What is the effect on the equilibrium level of income? What is the effect on the trade balance? Explain your answers. C. This question is independent of Question (b). Suppose exports increase by 50. Compared to you answer in (a), what is the effect on the equilibrium level of income and on the trade balance? Explain your answers.

Please complete all parts of DFS technical question 4, Chapter 2, reproduced here. Assume GDP is $6,000, personal disposable income is $5,100 and the government budget deficit is $200. Consumption is $3,800, and the trade deficit is $100. a)How large is savings? b)How large is investment? c)How large is government spending?

If Investment = f(r*) a.  Explain with pictures how it affects the balance of Supply/Saving and Investment Demand in the event of Fiscal policy, namely by decreasing state spending and increasing taxes. b.  Explain with pictures how it affects the balance of Supply/Saving and Investment Demand in the event of Fiscal policy, namely by decreasing state spending and increasing taxes if it happens overseas
