An economy is described by the following equations:
Y = C+ I, +G
C = a + b(Y –T)
%3D
T = tY
%3D
Let a = 20, b = 0.75, t 0.25, I,
100, G = 240
%3D
%3D
(a) Determine the value of the multiplier for this economy, and find the equilibrium
value of Y.
(b) Find the values of C, T and G-T, given your answer to part (a).
