Suppose an economy is described by the following equations: Y = C + I + G + X – M C = 14 + 0.60Yd I = 20 G = 20 X = 15 M = 5 +0.1Y T = 20 + 0.4Y Where Y is domestic income Yd is private disposable income C is aggregate consumption spending T is government tax revenue I is investment spending G is government spending E represents exports M represents imports of goods and services. (a) If the equilibrium national income is less than the full-employment level of income by N$100, what should be the increase in government spending or in exports to attain the full-employment level of income? (b) With a help of a diagram explain and discuss life cycle hypothesis.
Suppose that autonomous consumption (a) is 300, private investment spending (I) is 420, government spending (G) is 400, Net taxes (T) are 400 and marginal propensity to consume (b) is 80 %, and marginal tax rate (t) is 25 %. By using the above information: Find the equilibrium value of national income and show it on a graph
Suppose that the consumer’s consumption demand function is given by Cd = 0.8(Y−T)+10. Investment is Id = 20, government expenditure is G = 10, and tax is T = 10. What is the equilibrium GDP (income)? Suppose that government expenditure increases by 10 units while tax is unchanged. How will GDP change? What is the multiplier? Suppose that government expenditure increases by 10 units while tax also increases by 10 units. How will GDP change? What is the multiplier?
Consider the hypothetical country of Kejimkujik. Suppose that national income in Kejimkujik is $300 billion, households pay $100 billion in taxes, household consumption is equal to $160 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.6. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot the economy's consumption function.

Suppose that autonomous consumption (a) is 200, private investment spending (I) is 340, government spending (G) is 300, Net taxes (T) are 300 and marginal propensity to consume (b) is 80 %, and marginal tax rate (t) is 25 %. By using the above information: a) Find the equilibrium value of national income (you can take the approximate value if necessary b) Find out the effects of an increase in government expenditure by100 c) Just find the new national income equilibrium level when the marginal tax rate is increased to 30 % and the marginal propensity to consume is increasing to 0.9. (you can give the numerical value approximately )
The following equations describe an economy: Y = C + I + G + X – M [where X=exports, M=imports] C = 150 + 0.7*(Y - T) T = 30 I = 300 G = 60 X = 140 M = 100 + 0.2*(Y - T) Which of the following statement is true? The value of the government spending multiplier is 3.33. If exports increase by 10, equilibrium Y will increase by 20. If government spending increases by 40, equilibrium Y will increase by 333. Without any changes, the equilibrium level of Y is 2167.
