Q1:You are given the following income-expenditures model for an economy :
Consumption C = 300 + .64Yd
Tax (T) = $60
Government expenditure G = $100
Investment (I) = $120
From above data calculate the follows:
1. Equilibrium level of income
2. At the equilibrium level of income, what is the amount of consumption?
33)Consider the following consumption function: C = 800 + 0.75 YD for the fictitious economy of Zapland. If the government increases its purchase of goods and services by $200 million, what is the change in GDP? Assume that there is no increase in the price level. (Note negative means decrease)
Select one:
a. $2,000 million
b. $800 million
c. $400 million
d. -$800 million
e. -$1,000 million
