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 What is the current equilibrium level of income? What is the level of injections? What is the level of withdrawals? 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)What is the value of the multiplier? What is the value of the multiplier? Comment on the results in part (3) and (4).
Question:Given that the marginal propensity to consume in a fully employed closed economy is 0.75, an increase in government expenditure of $1,000 million will increase the national income by:a. $0b. $750c. $4,000d. $7,500e. $8,000
Assume that a three-sector economy in Country W. The amount of autonomous consumption is RM300 million with the proportion of an increase in income that is spent on consumption is 0.5. An induced tax of 20% is imposed by the country. The amount of investment is RM250 million, and the amount of government spending is RM150 million. A) explain what would happen to the national income equilibrium if the invesment changes by rm100 million

Answer the question on the basis of the following consumption schedule: C = 50 + .75Y. The level of disposable income is $400. What is the MPC of this economy?
What is the relative importance of consumption spending (C) in aggreagte demand and some factors that affect it? What is the relative importance of investment spending (I) in aggreagte demand and some factors that affect it? What is the relative importance of government spending (G) in aggreagte demand and some factors that affect it? What is the relative importance of Net Export (NX) (Net Export = spending on exports (X) - imports (M)) in aggreagte demand and some factors that affect it?

Find autonomous Expenditure from the following:- Autonomous consumption = $200 Marginal propensity to consume = 0.6 National income = $3000
Let’s analyze the rational behavior and well-being of 3 different individuals in regards to their saving and borrowing behavior. I recommend drawing the intertemporal consumption model graph for each of the following situations. We will be analyzing three individuals; Charlie is saving at the current interest rate, Allison is borrowing at the current interest rate, and Chris is neither saving nor borrowing at the current interest rate. (a) Charlie is currently saving money (spending less than his current income) at the current interest rate. Will he be made better off if the interest rate subsequently increases? (b) Allison is currently borrowing money (spending more than her current income) at the current interest rate. Will she be made better off if the interest rate subsequently increases? (c) Chris is currently neither saving nor borrowing (spending exactly his current income) at the current interest rate. Will he be made better off if the interest rate subsequently increases?…
