In an economy such that:

C = 200 + 0.80 (Y – T)           Md = 0.20 Y - 10 R

I = 40 - 20 R                            Ms = 200 + BP

X = 30 - 0.05 Y                       BP = X + K

T = 100                                   K = 20 + 10R

G = 150                                                          

                                   

  1. Determine the equilibrium levels of Y and R.
  2. If T increases to $150, what are the new Y and R?  What is the tax multiplier?
