A) What is the current equilibrium level of income? B) What is the level of injections? What is the level of withdrawals? C) If national income now rises by £12 billion, and as a result, the consumption of domestically produced goods rises to £68 billion. Calculate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC).

Exercise D24 Compare two policies: a tax cut on income or an increase in government spending on roads and bridges. What are both the short-term and longâ€”term impacts of such policies on the economy?
Explain how to derive a total expenditures (TE) curve.
Suppose an economy with the following characteristics.Y = Real GDP or national incomeT = Taxes = 0.3YC = Consumption = 140 + 0.9(Y – T)I = Investment = 400G = Government spending = 800X = Exports = 600M = Imports = 0.15YGiven the information above What is the equation for Aggregate Expenditures (AE) in this economy?
Assume you have the following model of the expenditure sector: AD = C + I + G + NX C = Co + cYD YD = Y - TA + TR TA = TAo TR = TRo I = Io G = Go NX = NXo If a change in exports by deltaNX = - 200 is accompanied by a change in consumption by ∆C = - 800, what is the size of the expenditure multiplier?
Y=E Autonomous expenditure = 3500 Equilibrium income = 9800 Full employment level of income is = 14000 i. Illustrate the above using a well labelled diagram. ii. What is the value of the multiplier in this economy? iii. Give the equation of the aggregate expenditure line.
Assume the following model of the expenditure sector: S=C+I+G+Nx TR=100 C=420+(4/5)YD I=160 G=180 Nx=-40 YD=Y+TR-TA TA=(1/6)Y If the government would like to increase the equilibrium level of output (Y) to the full employment level Y*=2,700, by how much should government purchases (G) be changed?
Assume you have the following model of the expenditure sector:AD = C + I + G + NX C = Co + cYD YD = Y - TA + TR TA = TAo TR = TRo I = Io G = Go NX = NXo a. If a change in income by ∆Y = - 800 leads to a change in savings by ∆S = - 160, what is the size of the expenditure multiplier? c. If a change in exports by NX = - 200 is accompanied by a change in consumption by ∆C = - 800, what is the size of the expenditure multiplier?
30. Given this model, what would be the change in equilibrium level of income were G to increase to 250? 31. Given this model, what would be the new equi8librium level of income were Investment spending to decline by 50?
The economy of HOYA has a spending mulipilier of 4. Based only on this information, we know that in HOYAO. Every one point change in R will change spending by 4O. An $80 decrease in investment will reduce GDP by $20O. A $10 increase in not exports will lead to a $40 income equilibrium GDPO. $25 increase in goverment purchase will increase equilibrium consumption by $100
Solve for (i) Equilibrium income and (ii) Income-expenditure multiplier for G
