ii) A new president, who promised during the campaign that she would cut taxes, has just been elected. People trust that she will keep her promise, but expect that the tax cuts will be implemented only in the future. Determine the impact of the election on current output, the current interest rate, and current private spending under each of the assumptions in parts (a) through (c). In each case, indicate what you think will happen to Y", r and T" and then how these changes in expectations affect output today. a) The Fed will act to prevent any change in the current and future output.

A consumer's income in the current period is y = 100 and income in the future period is y'= 120. He or she pays lump-sum taxes t=20 in the current period and t'= 10 in the future period. The real interest rate is 0.1, or 10%, per period. (a) Determine the consumer's lifetime wealth. (b) Suppose that current and future consumptions are perfect complements for the con sumer and that he or she always wants to have equal consumption in the current and future periods. Draw the consumer's indiffer ence curves. (c) Determine what the consumer's optimal current-period and future-period consump tions are, and what optimal saving is, and show this in a diagram with the consumer's budget constraint and indifference curves. Is the consumer a lender or a borrower?
***PLEASE READ THE QUESTIONS CAREFULLY - PART B HAS MULTIPLE REQUIREMENTS*** Given: Barbara has an income of $2000 this year, and she expects an income of $1100 next year. She can borrow and lend money at an interest rate of 10%. Consumption goods cost $1 per unit this year and there is no inflation. a. What is the net present value of Barbara’s endowment? b. On a graph show the combinations of consumption this year andconsumption next year that she can afford. Label Barbara’s endowment with the letter E. Write down Barbara’s budget equation. What is the slope of Barbara’s budget line?
Q.3.1 Government spending (as a percentage of gross domestic expenditure) hasincreased significantly over the past decades. Explain any two reasons for thistrend.Q.3.2 The increased government spending noted in Q.3.1. above has to be financed inone way or another.Describe three ways in which government spending can be financed.
4. A country’s consumer spending is defined by the following equation:Consumer spending = 365 + 0.75 (Disposable Income)a. Draw a diagram to represent this equation. b. Assuming no government, what will the Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) in this country.c. What will be Consumer spending if disposable income in this country is 1000? d. If suddenly this country’s wealth increases, how do you think the equation might change.Also show it in a diagram.
Question Two a. Explain the difference between a binding and non-binding borrowing constraints and thetwo consumption functions that result.b. From the Intertemporal Choice Model, many theories (non-Keynesian theories ofConsumption) came into being. Using graphical and mathematical expressions, compareand contrast the following theories on consumption behaviours:i. Franco Modigliani: Life-Cycle Hypothesisii. Milton Friedman: Permanent-Income Hypothesisiii. Robert Hall: Random Walk Hypothesis
No written by hand solution a) Use the AS-AD model to describe the crowding-out effect of private investment occurring when the government decides to decrease taxation (T). Your analysis should include the AS-AD, IS-LM, and the money market graph. b) Assume that the government asked you to estimate how the above reduction in taxes will affect the income/GDP in the economy. How would you answer? (Hint: Mention and discuss not only graphs, but also the formula of the multiplier, and whether the multiplier is an accurate measure
A consumer's current income (y) is 200 and the future income ( t.') is 240. A current lump sum tax (t) of 10 is paid and the tax in the next period (t) is 15. The real interest rate is 20% for each period. Please assume that current and future consumption are complements. and the consumer always prefers to have one unit of current consumption and two units of consumption in the future. Calculate the optimal current and future consumption and the optimal current and future savings. Is the consumer a lender or a borrower? How does he she. as a lender or a borrower. affect the future consumption?
Only typed answer Suppose that an economy has the following functions for C, I, G, and NX: C= 51 + 0.89V I = 47 €=35 NX=12-0.10Y and the local tax rate is equal to 28%. What is the Simple Multiplier in this case?
Suppose, the government of Australia incurs a budget deficit of $50 billion due to increased government spending in 2020 as result of Covid 19. Because of this, the government borrowing in 2021 increases by the same amount. a) Compare the size of equilibrium changes in 1) investment, 2) public saving, 3) private saving and 4) national saving (public saving + private saving) with $50 billion increase in borrowing. Compare the changes (increase/decrease) in these variables indicating same, less or more than the $50 billion. b) Will the equilibrium quantity of national savings change by more or less than the initial change in public saving? Explain your answer
PLEASE ONLY ANSWER QUESTION FOUR (i am giving you the others as context) (i need this by 11:55pm tonight, so in like 25 minutes, so please hurry!!) ANSWER THIS ONE: 4. Based on the answer to the previous question (question #3), if half of those government expenditures are financed through lump sum taxes, calculate the new level if NI? (C+I+G) HERE ARE THE FIRST THREE QUESTIONS AS CONTEXT: 1. Calculate the MPC in the above diagram. 2. Based on Diagram 1, If private Investment of $100 is added to the existing C, calculate the new equilibrium level of NI. 3. Given your answer to the previous question (question #2) calculate by how much G should change, if the full employment level in the economy is at $3000.
6. Suppose consumption is $10,000 when income is $9,000 and the marginal propensity to saveequals 0.1. When income increases to $9,500, consumption will be:(A) $8,500. (B) $10,450. (C) $10,500. (D) $10,050.
A new factory in a small town has an annual payroll of $6 million. It is expected that 60% of this moneywill be spend on the town will by factory personnel. The people in the town who receive this money areexpected to spend 60% of what they receive in the town, and so on.(a) What is the total of all this spending (called the “total economic impact”) of the factory on the towneach year?(b) How much additional spending will be generated by a 10 million dollar tax rebate if 60% of allincome is spent?
