Assume that the consumption function is given by C = 150 + 0.85(Y – T), the tax function is given by T = t0 + t1Y, and Y is 5,000. If t1 decreases from 0.3 to 0.2, then consumption increases by: a) 500 b) 525 c) 85 d) 425
Suppose that the government of Uplandia is experiencing a large budget deficit with fixed government expenditures of G=375 and fixed taxes of T= 225. Assume that consumers of Uplandia behave as described in the following consumption function C = 450 + 0.96 (Y - T). Suppose further that investment spending is fixed at 300. a. Calculate the equilibrium level of GDP in Uplandia. Solve for equilibrium levels of Y, C, and S. b. Next, assume that the National Congress in Uplandia succeeds in reducing taxes by 89 to a new fixed level of 136. Recalculate the equilibrium level of GDP using the tax multiplier c. Solve for equilibrium levels of Y, C, and S after the tax cut and check to ensure that the multiplier worked.
Suppose there is a bill to increase the tax on cigarettes by $1 per pack coupled with an income tax cut of $500. Suppose a person smokes an average of 500 packs of cigarettes per year—and would thus face a tax increase of about $500 per year from the cigarette tax at the person’s current level of consumption. The income tax measure would increase the person’s after-tax income by $500. Would the combined measures be likely to have any effect on the person’s consumption of cigarettes? Why or why not?

16. Suppose that planned investment and planned government purchases do not depend on income:I = 15 and G = 17. Consumption, as you would expect, does depend on income via the consumption function C = 2 + 0.75Y – 0.75T. Net taxes are T = 12. Your friend thinks that the equilibrium will be where Y = 150 but he is wrong. What is the best description of this situation? a. the (Y, AE) point is above the 45 degree line, Y will adjust down b. the (Y, AE) point is above the 45 degree line, Y will adjust up c. the (Y, AE) point is below the 45 degree line, Y will adjust down d. the (Y, AE) point is below the 45 degree line, Y will adjust up 17. (continued) Help you friend by calculating the equilibrium income for the AE model in the previous question. Y = _____

Desired consumption is Cd = 2000 + 0.9Y - 100,000r - G, and desired investment is I d = 1000 - 45,000r. Real money demand is Md/P =Y - 6000i. Other variables are πe = 0.03, G = 500, Y = 1000, and M = 2100. Required (a) What feature in this example leads to the result that you don’t need to know the amount of taxes collected by the government to find the equilibrium?

(a) Assume that Gross Domestic Product (GDP)/Total output (Y) is 6,000. Consumption (C) is given by the equation C = 600 + 0.6(Y – T) where T is the tax. Investment (I) is given by the equation I = 2,000 – 100r, where r is the real rate of interest, in percent. Taxes (T) are 500, and government spending (G) is also 500. What are the equilibrium values of C, I, and r?
(a) Assume Consumption (C) is given by the equation C = 500 + 0.6(Y – T). Taxes (T) are equal to 600. Government spending is equal to 1,000. Investment is given by the equation I = 2,160 – 100r, where r = the real interest rate = 13 percent. In this case, what is the equilibrium Gross Domestic Product (GDP)/Total output (Y)/Total income? How does the equilibrium income change if government designs and executes expansionary fiscal policy? Show graphically and mathematically.
