A tax on gasoline is proposed in order to raise money for the pollution-control activities of several
public agencies. The tax will be 10¢ per gallon, and last year 10.3 million gallons of gasoline were used
by motorists (this is strictly an illustrative number). Does this mean that we can anticipate $1,030,000
in revenues from this tax? Explain and use a graph to answer this question.
Suppose the relationship between the government's tax revenue (T) and national income (Y) is represented by the equation
T=10+0.25Y.
Plot this relationship on a scale diagram, with Y on the horizontal axis and T on the vertical axis. Interpret the equation.
Construct the following graphs for the US economy using
the data from FRED, BEA, and BLS websites. Select the
period from 1945 (subject to data availability) until the
most recent year available. You have
to create each graph three different times by utilizing the
data from the three different websites. Be sure
to indicate the source of data for each graph.

Question 2: Suppose that you estimate a model of the aggregate annual retail sales of new cars that specifies that sales of new cars are a function of real disposable income, the average retail price of a car adjusted by the consumer price index, and the number of sports utility vehicles sold (you decide to add this independent variable to take account of the fact that some potential new car buyers purchase sports utility vehicles instead). You use the data (annual from 2000 to 2014) and obtain the following estimated regression equation: CARS, = 1.32 + 4.91Y D; + 0.0012 PRICE, - 7.14 SUV (2.39) (0.00045) (71.40) 1 where CARS = new car sales (in hundreds of thousands of units) in year t, YD; = real disposable income (in hundreds of billions of dollars), PRICE = the average real price of a new car in yeart (in dollars), SUV = the number of sports utility vehicles sold in year t (in millions).

However, in terms of real value — which refers to the constant price using the Consumer Price Index with the base year 2014 as the deflator — annual growth rate is 3.9% for the same period, mentioned on its Household Expenditure Survey Report 2020. a) Suppose that consumer spending initially rises by RM5 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises by RM20 billion for every 1 percentage point fall in the real interest rate. Also, assume that the economy’s multiplier is 4. i.

These extra data points are (350,84), (385,72), (410,67), (400,62), (330,92), and (480,53). (The price is shown first and then the demand at that price.)
