(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?

Suppose that real domestic output in an economy is 100 units, the quanity of inputs is 10, and the price of each input is $5. The per unit cost of production in the economy described is?
True or false Disposable income is the income that remains to the household for the use of consumption after paying all the taxes.
True or False: Personal Consumption Expenditures account for about 25% of GDP. Spending on Consumer Durable Goods tends to be very stable from year to year. Sales of used goods are included in GDP at 35% of their original sale price.
in 2019 fiscal year estimated that Ghanaians saved 20 percent of their disposable income; however, due to overconsumption in the previous year, autonomous saving for 2019 was negative 100 million Ghana cedis. The government of Ghana imposed a lump sum tax of Gh ₡ 20 million. In addition to the lump sum tax the government also took 20 percent of all incomesearned in the economy in the form of proportional tax. The total government expenditure was GH ₡50 million in 2019. Total investment recorded for 2019 was 66 million. (A) Determine the tax function for this economy, derive the consumption function based on the above information and write out the aggregate demand equation (b) Determine the equilibrium consumption and calculate the value of the government expenditure multiplier for this economy and interpret your result (c) Calculate the total tax revenue to the government
Q: Determine whether the following statements are true or false:- a) The added value includes wages but does not take into account the amount of profit. b) Net exports of the country are reduced if the value of GDP in other countries decreases. c) Resale does not increase the GDP.
Assume that you are employed by the government of Tanzania in 1964, a new nation recently independent from Britain. The Tanzanian parliament has decided that it will spend 10 million shillings on schools, roads, and healthcare for the year. You estimate that the net taxes for the year are eight million shillings. The difference will be financed by selling 10-year government bonds at 12% interest per year. The interest on outstanding bonds must be added to government expenditure each year. Assume that additional taxes are added to finance this increase in government expenditure so the gap between government spending is always two million. If the school, road, and healthcare budget are unchanged, compute the value of the accumulated debt in 10 years.

Assuming you are the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning for Nigeria, in charge of Fiscal Policy. The Research Director of the Ministry brought you the following data on Nigeria’s for the previous fiscal year, 2021. An examination of the data reveals that, during the fiscal year 2021, households in Nigeria saved 20% of their disposable income (Yd) and spent the rest on consumption. In addition, ₦5,000.00 was spent on Consumption expenditure (C), which is independent of income and Gross Private Investment (I) was ₦ 7,000.00. Total Government expenditure (G) which stood at ₦8,000.00 was supposed to be financed by a lump sum tax of ₦2,000.00 (independent of income) and a proportional tax rate of 25% of national income. Exports (X) stood at ₦2,500.00. In addition, the country’s import (M) during the previous fiscal year comprises of ₦1,000.00 which was independent of the country’s national income and 10% which was dependent of the country’s national income. Given these data on…
