Consider the following economy: C = 300 + 0.8 (Y – T) I = $300 G = $200 and T = $250 What is the equilibrium level of national income? What is the change in national income, if only government spending increases by $10? What is the government spending multiplier? What is the change in national income, if only taxes increase by $10? What is the tax multiplier? Based on (b) and (c), does the balanced budget multiplier theorem hold? What is the change in national income, if both government spending and taxes increase by $10 each?
Only typed answer a. If GDP is $800 and government spending is G1, the size of Motak's budget deficit is $ billion. b. If government spending is decreased by the size of the deficit in part (a), draw the new curve labelled G2 in the graphing area above. c. Suppose the multiplier has a value of 3, the new level of equilibrium GDP is $ billion. d. Motak's deficit at this new level of equilibrium GDP is $ billion.
pls solve for C and D, please let it be correct In each of the following cases, calculate the spending multiplier and determine the size and shift of each fiscal policy on the AD (aggregate demand) curve. a. Government increases spending by $4 billion in an economy with a MPW of 0.7b. Government spending decreases by $2 billion in an economy with a MPC of 0.65.c. Government increases taxes by $3 billion in an economy with a MPW of 0.35d. A $5 billion tax cut causes an initial increase in spending of $1.5 billion.
16. If consumers in a country spend 4/5 of their disposable income. If their governmentdecreases its spending by 55 trillion and in order to maintain a balanced budgetsimultaneously decreases taxes by 55 trillion. Calculate the effect of the 55 trillion change ingovernment spending and 55 trillion change in taxes on the country’s aggregate demand.
Only typed answer Explain why the multiplier falls when taxes depend on income. .1 Assume the following for the economy of a country: a. Consumption function: C = 60 + 0.75Yd b. Investment: I = 75 c. Government spending: G = 45 d. Net taxes: T = - 25 + 0.2Y e. Disposable income: Yd. = Y - T f. Equilibrium: Y = C + I + G Solve for equilibrium income. How much does the government collect in net taxes when the economy is in equilibrium? What is the government’s budget deficit or surplus?
Assume that the economy is now governed by a government and begins trading with other economies. The economy is described by the following set of equations. ?=1000+0.5⋅?d ID = 600 G=700 T=400 EX=0.1⋅Y IM=100+0.1⋅Y YD = Y - T Calculate the equilibrium level of output Y* a) 2857 b) 4000 c) 6274 d) 4400 Whats the government expenditure multiplier? Whats the tax multiplier? Whats the ba;anced budget multiplier?
If the spending multiplier is 2.5 and the economy is in a $500 billion contractionary gap, how much should I increase government purchases to eliminate the gap?
15. If consumers in a country spend 3/4 of their disposable income. If their governmentincreases its spending by 75 trillion and in order to maintain a balanced budgetsimultaneously increases taxes by 75 trillion. Calculate the effect of the 75 trillion change ingovernment spending and 75 trillion change in taxes on the country’s aggregate demand.

1. Calculate GDP loss if equilibrium level of GDP is $8,000, unemployment rate 8.8%, and the MPC is 0.90. Hint: (Use Okun's law to calculate GDP loss) a) How much money should the government spend to eliminate this GDP loss? b) Calculate the tax cut needed to eliminate this GDP loss. 2. Calculate MPC, MPS and the Multiplier if consumption expenditure increases by $4,000 as a result of increase in income from $40,000 to $48,000. 3. Assume that initially G is $300 and equilibrium real GDP is $5000. If the multiplier is 5, what would be the new equilibrium level of GDP if Government expenditures increase to $600.
