To calculate:
The government expenditure and the budget balance of the government.
Explanation of Solution
Aggregate
Thereby in recognition, investment holds an equation in the form of:
Which when rearranged to make government expenditure the subject, it equals to:
The government budget balance would equal to the relevant surplus or deficit of the government budget; which accordingly follows the formula of:
Aggregate demand:
Aggregate demand is simply the final demand for the final commodities and services produced in the economy within a period of time.

- 1. If imports are $2 trillion, exports are $1.9 trillion, consumption is $3.8 trillion, investment is $700 billion, and government spending is $1.1 trillion, how much is GDP? 2. If consumption is $2.5 trillion, investment is $900 billion, government spending is $700 billion, imports are $1.2 trillion and exports are $1.4 trillion, how much is GDP? Example: If GDP rises from $6 trillion in 1994 to $8 trillion in 1999 and the GDP deflator in 1999 is 110, find real GDP in 1999 and find the percentage increase in real GDP between 1994 and 1999. First, we are asked to find real GDP in 1999. To do this we divide the nominal GDP, which is $8 trillion ($8,000 billion), by the GDP deflator for 1999, which is 110. This then is multiplied by 100. Real GDP in 1999 is $7,273 billion or $7.2 trillion. To find the percent change you must find the difference of real GDP between 1999 and 1994. Change in GDP = 7,232 – 6,000 = 1,232 You then take this difference and divide it by GDP in…arrow_forwardIf consumption expenditures are $1800 million, gross investment is $450 million, imports are $350 million, exports are $180 million, government expenditure on goods and services is $120 million, and government transfer payments are $180 million and net taxes are $250 million; a) Calculate the GDP. b) Is there budget deficit or surplus? Calculate. c) How much is the private (household) saving? d) How much is the disposable income? e) Calculate the national savings.arrow_forwardIf MPC = 0.5, a simultaneous increase in both taxes and government spending of $20 will a. decrease GDP by $20 b. increase GDP by $20 c. decrease GDP by $40 d. increase GDP by $40arrow_forward
- ECONOMICS An economy has neither imports nor income taxes. The MPC is 0.75 and the real GDP is $120 billion. The government increases expenditures by $4 billion. The multiplier is _____ and the change in real GDP from the increase in government expenditures is _____ billion.arrow_forward1. If imports are $2 trillion, exports are $1.9 trillion, consumption is $3.8 trillion, investment is $700 billion, and government spending is $1.1 trillion, how much is GDP? 2. If consumption is $2.5 trillion, investment is $900 billion, government spending is $700 billion, imports are $1.2 trillion and exports are $1.4 trillion, how much is GDP?arrow_forwardSuppose that the government allocates $1 billion for new roads. It also raises taxes by $1 billion to keep the deficit from growing. The absolute value of the government purchase multiplier is 3.33 and that of the tax multiplier is 2.33. What is the effect on equilibrium GDP? GDP does not change. ● GDP increases by $ 2.33 billion. GDP increases by $3.33 billion ⒸGDP increases by $1 billion.arrow_forward
- DEFINE FISCAL POLICY. WOULD THE INCREASE OF $100 IN GOVERNMENT SPENDING HAVE THE SAME EFFECT ON GDP AS OF DECREASE IN TAXES OF $100? WHY OR WHY NOT?arrow_forwardIf consumption expenditures are $1800 million, gross investment is $450 million, imports are $350 million, exports are $180 million, government expenditure on goods and services is $120 million, and government transfer payments are $180 million and net taxes are $250 million; a) Calculate the GDP. b) Is there budget deficit or surplus? Calculate. c) How much is the private (household) saving? d) How much is the disposable income?arrow_forwardIn a closed economy, GDP is $1000, government purchases are $200, and consumption is $700. If the government has a budget surplus of $25, what are investment, taxes, private saving, and national saving? Explain with equations.arrow_forward
- Suppose the government seeks to achieve a balanced budget by levying taxes of $50 billion and making expenditures of $100 billion. How will this affect GDP if MPC=0.8?arrow_forwardsuppose the government wishes to illuminate recessionary of a gdp of 100 billion in the MPC is .075. How much must the government increase in spending? Instead of increasing government spending by the amount you calculated what would be the effect of the government decreasing taxes by this amount explain?arrow_forwardAssume that country has a MPS of 0.2. Calculate the maximum change in Real GDP as a result of the fiscal policy action. Also, indicate if it is an increase or decrease. a. The government increases spending by $6 million. b. The government decreases taxes by $8 million. c. The government increases taxes by $100 million. d. The government decreases spending by $15 million.arrow_forward
