i need this in word not handwritten Q7. Assume that in 2015, the following prevails in the Republic of Nurd: Y = $200 G = $0 C = $160 T = $0 S = $40 I (planned) = $30 Assume that households consume 80 percent of their in- come, they save 20 percent of their income, MPC = 0.8, and MPS = 0.2. That is, C = 0.8Yd and S = 0.2Yd. Is the economy of Nurd in equilibrium? What is Nurd’s equilibrium level of income? What is likely to happen in the coming months if the government takes no action? 2. If $200 is the “full-employment” level of Y, what fiscal policy might the government follow if its goal is full employment? 3. If the full-employment level of Y is $250, what fiscal policy might the government follow? 4. Suppose Y = $200, C = $160, S = $40, and I = $40. Is Nurd’s economy in equilibrium? 5. Starting with the situation in part d, suppose the government starts spending $30 each year with no taxation and continues to spend $30 every period. If I remains constant, what…

Table 2 shows elements in the national income accounts of an economy. Assume the economy is currently in equilibrium. elements billions Consumption (total) 80 Investment 9 Government Expenditure. 6 Imports 15 Exports 8 C) If national income now rises by £22 billion and as a result, the consumption of domestically produced goods rises to £80 billion. Calculate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC). D) What is the value of the multiplier? E) Comment on the results in part (c) and (d).
1. Suppose the households in a hypothetical economy has the following consumption function C= a + cYd. Where is the disposable income. The government in this economy imposes a tax rate of to households’ income (ex. A means that 10% of households’ income goes to tax payments). a. What is the equation that describes the disposable income of households? b. What is the Planned Expenditure Equation? Assume that government expenditure is exogenous and Investment function is given by the equation I = I-br Where is the interest rate. c. Derive the equilibrium output in the goods market and show that the multiplier in this model is 1/1c(1-t). d. How does and the tax rate affects this multiplier (e.g., what happens to multiplier if c increases cet.par. , or if tax rate increases, cet.par)?
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 = _____
