Given the above model for an economy C = 100 + 0.8Yd

G = 800

T = 500

I = 200

a)Calculate the level of savings when the economy is in

b)Find government spending multiplier.

c) Find the new equilibrium level of output if investment is increased by 100 (ΔI = 100).

Expert Solution
Step 1

Calculation of level of savings when economy is in equilibrium:

Savings = Y – C

Income = C + I + G

Yd = Y -T        

Y = 100 +0.8Yd + 200 + 800

Y = 100 + 0.8 (Y-500) + 1000

Y = 1100 + 0.8Y – 400

0.2Y = 700

Y = 3500.

Value of C = 100 + 0.8Yd.

C = 100 + 0.8 (3500 - 500)

C = 2500

Savings = 3500 – 2500 = 1000
