Explain the difference between the government purchases multiplier and the net tax multiplier. If the MPC falls, what happens to the tax multiplier?
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 = _____
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)?
Consider a closed economy with fixed prices and wages. Suppose consumption function takes the form C = 150+0,8Yd, Investments are I = 200, government purchases are G = 350, tax rate t= 0,1. There are no lump-sum taxes. (some calculations are added in the images) 1)Compute the government spending multiplier before and after changes in tax rate. Explain why multiplier is changed? 2) If the potential output is 3000 and economy is in initial equilibrium (a) what changes in government purchases the Government need to implement in order to achieve potential output? Show how changes in government purchases affect the planned aggregate spending line and new equilibrium output.
Assume an economy in which:(i) there are no exports and no imports,(ii) investors always want to spend $200 billion, or I = 200,(iii) government spends $500 billion and tax revenue is $200 billion,(iv) consumption is a linear function of disposable income, C=100+0.8YdAnswer the following questions:a. What is the marginal propensity to save (MPS)?b. What is the saving equation?c. What is the equilibrium level of national output/income (Y)?d. At the equilibrium income level (Y*, your answer to c) calculate private saving,and explain the relationship between private saving and planned investment?
Given that the marginal propensity to cinsume is 0.8 and that the initial change in investment expenditure equals $100 million. (a). Calculate and explain the numeric value of the autonomous investment multiplier? (b). Calculate the resultant change in equilibrium national income?
Given thatG= 201= 35C = 0.9Ya + 70T= 0.2Y + 25Where, G, I, C, T and Ya are planned government expenditure and planned investment autonomous andconsumption expenditure and tax respectively.Calculate the equilibrium level of national income.
a.) What is the level of the equilibrium income?b.) What is the value of the investment multiplier? c.) Explain how the tax function acts as an “automatic stabilizer” of the economy if there is a drop in investment level.
Question 3: At a level of National Income of AED 30,000 Million, the government announced an increase in expenditures from AED 1000 Million to AED 1500 Million as a stimulus package for infrastructure development and at the same time government also announced an increase in tax from AED 1000 Million to AED 1600 Million. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for the country is 0.75. Find the impact of these changes on National Income. Explain the leakages of multiplier
Assume that, without taxes, the consumption schedule for an economy is shown below: GDP, Billions Consumption, Billions $100 $120 200 200 300 280 400 360 500 440 600 520 700 600 Graph this consumption schedule and determine the size of the MPC. Assume that a lump-sum (regressive) tax of $10 billion is imposed at all levels of GDP. Calculate the tax rate at each level of GDP. Graph the resulting consumption schedule and compare the MPC and the multiplier with those of the pretax consumption schedule. Now suppose a proportional tax with a 10 percent tax rate is imposed instead of the regressive tax. Calculate and graph the new consumption schedule and note the MPC and the multiplier. Finally, impose a progressive tax such that the tax rate is 0 percent when GDP is $100, 5 percent at $200. 10 percent at $300, 15 percent at $400, and so forth. Determine and graph the new consumption schedule, noting the effect of this tax system…
