Consider a macroeconomy where the current population is 800 thousand people. Gross domestic private investment is constant $2500 million while consumer expenditure is described by the equation: C = 580+ 0.8DI. The government is fairly active, with a total expenditure of $2000 million and net taxes of $2550 million. Further investigation of the macroeconomy reveals that imports are constant at $3000 million while exports are constant at $2500 million. Currently, the overall price level (GDP deflator) is 118 and the potential GDP level is $13.5 billion. What is the current equilibrium level of real GDP? (report your answer at 2 decimal places and in millions of dollars) 1. What is the current equilibrium level of real GDP 2. what is the current real GDP per capita? 3. what is the value gap?

Consider a macroeconomy where the current population is 800 thousand people. Gross domestic private investment is constant $2500 million while consumer expenditure is described by the equation: C = 580 +0.8DI. The government is fairly active, with a total expenditure of $2000 million andnet taxes of $2550 million. Further investigation of the macroeconomy reveals that imports are constant at $3000 million while exports are constant at $2500 million. Currently, the overall price level (GDP deflator) is 118 and the potental GDP level is $13.5 billion.(Question4 of 7)Now, consider that the government decreases taxes by 7.5%. While the change had a direct impact on the economy, other market conditions led to an unanticipated change in the economy. Specifically, imports decrease by 7.5%. At the same time, given the birth rate, mortality rate, and net migration, the economy experienced a 0% change in its population.1. As a result of these events, what is the current equilibrium level of GDP?…
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
India is the second populous country in the world that has indicate growth improvement over time. Suppose consumption function for India is C = 250 + 0.6(Y – T) and taxes are autonomous which equal to $20. (a)Find India’s consumption function (C). (b)Suppose India’s investment (I) is equal to $300 and government spending (G) is equal to $150 at every level of disposable income. Calculate national income equilibrium for a 3-sectors economy. (c) In the same year, India seems to be very active in export and import activities. This sector has contributed $100 for net export (NX). Calculate national income equilibrium for the 4-sectors economy of India.
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.

Consider the hypothetical example of Dominion Island that has firms producing only two goods, gold and cotton, the proceeds of which it uses to purchase other goods and services from neighbouring islands through its banks. Assuming that all other required institutions in an economy are prevalent in this island, discuss the circular flow of income and spending in Dominion Island.
How are the following events likely to influence the level of private domestic investment? 1) GDP in the current year grows by 3.5% rather than 2% that had been forecast. 2) Business leaders lose confidence in the ability of the government to fashion appropriate macroeconomic policy.
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. Explain what would happen to the national income equilibrium if the investment changes by RM100 million.

Consider a closed-economy. The economywide expected future marginal product of capital is MPKf = 50 − 0.05K^f , where Kf is the future capital stock. The depreciation rate of capital, δ, is 10% per period. The current capital stock, K, is 900 units of capital. The real price of a unit of capital is 8 unit of output. Firms pay taxes equal to 20% of their output. The consumption equation is C = 100 + 0.6Y −100r, where C is consumption, Y is output, and r is the real interest rate. Government spending equals 150 and full-employment output is 1000. (a) Suppose the current real interest rate is 10% per period. What are the values of the tax-adjusted user cost of capital, the desired future capital stock, and the desired level of investment? (b) When the real interest rate equals 10%, what are the desired levels of consumption and saving (assuming output is at the full-employment level)? 10 (c) Is the goods market in equilibrium when the real interest rate equals 10%?

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 ?
