Give an example of a change in autonomous spending that took place during 2000-2010.
Suppose an economy had aggregate demand components with the following relationships:
Consumption spending, C=140+.60*(DY)
Investment spending,I=25+.15*Y
Government Spending, G= 0
Net Export Spending,X=0
Tax collections, Tx=0
a. What is the equilibrium income for this economy?
b. If the government decided to increase G spending by 6, what would be the new equilibrium income for this economy?
c. If instead the government decided to reduce Tx (taxes) by 10, what would be the new equilibrium income for the economy?
d. If instead the government decided to increase G spending and Increase Tx (taxes) by 20, what would be the new equilibrium for this economy?

What is the eventual effect on real GDP if the government
increases its purchases of goods and services by $60,000?
Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75.
What is the eventual effect on real GDP if the government,
instead of changing its spending, increases transfers by
$60,000? Assume the MPC has not changed.
An increase in government transfers or taxes, as opposed
to an increase in government purchases of goods and
services, will result in
O no change to real GDP.
O a smaller eventual effect on real GDP.
a larger eventual effect on real GDP.
O an identical eventual effect on real GDP.
