A media company wants to know how much consumers spend in a closed economy. The answer is not readily available, but we know the following: Consumption: C = 50 + 0.6(Y - T) • Investment: 1 = 40-500 i • Taxes: T = 2C . Government spending: G = 20 where Y is GDP and i is the interest rate. At the time of the analysis, the central bank made sure that the interest rate. was 4% What is the level of consumption C? Select one: a 155 b. 170 c. 195 d. 220

suppose you are given a consumption, investment and government expenditure functions as C= 700 + 0.6Y , I= 360+ 0.3Y and G= 440 respectively in the initial year. additionally, suppose that last year's aggregate demand determines this year's production. if autonomous investment rises from 360 to 400 then what will be the national income in three years ?

During the 2012 fiscal year, households in an economy spent 80 per cent of their disposable income on consumption as well as GH¢300 consumption expenditure which is independent of income. Total government expenditure which stood at GH¢800 was supposed to be financed from a proportional tax levy of 50 per cent of national income and a VAT of GH¢100. Total private investment spending was made up of GH¢400 whereas export was GH¢400 and anautonomous import of GH¢500. Also, marginal propensity to import was 0.15 Determine the equilibrium national income for this economy.
