NORTH KOREA'S ROCKETS DEEPEN FOOD CRISIS
North Korea's Rocket Launches Cost $1.3 Billion
North Korea's rocket program is costly. In December 2012 North Korea successfully launched a long-range rocket carrying a satellite into space. That feat cost $300 million. The entire cost of the rocket program last year - including the failed launch in April - totaled about $1.3 billion according to estimates by South Korea experts. With that much money North Korea could have purchased 4.6 million tons of corn - enough to feed its population for 4-5 years. North Korea's ambitious nuclear program costs nearly triple that amount. The burden of North Korea's military program is evident in widespread poverty and periodic starvation.

Suppose net taxes were $50 billion, so that disposable income was equal to Y – 50, where Y is real GDP. In this case, this economy's aggregate output demanded was ___________ . Suppose the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising taxes. Because the spending multiplier is ____________ , this will increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by ____________ . Now suppose that the government switches to a proportional tax on income of 10%. Because consumers retain the remaining 90% of their income, disposable income is now equal to 0.90Y.
