To determine
To calculate:
The government expenditure and the budget balance of the government.
Expert Solution & Answer
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:
Economics Concept Introduction
Aggregate demand:
Aggregate demand is simply the final demand for the final commodities and services produced in the economy within a period of time.

18. What is the new equilibrium level of real GDP if
government spending and taxes both increase by $150?
19. Make a graph showing the spending and tax revenue
of your state government for as many years as you can
find (use the government of your home country if you
are not from the United States). What trends do you
notice? What spending categories make up the largest
share of the state budget? What are the largest sources
of revenue?
You have the following information. Calculate
equilibrium GDP and enter your number in
the box below.
C = 200 + 0.75YD
| = 800
G = 600
The government has a balanced budget.
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…
