People sometimes argue that imports should be limited by government policy. Suppose a government quota on the quantity of imports causes net exports to rise. Using the circular flow diagram as a guide, explain why total expenditures and national output may rise after the quota in imposed. Who is likely to benefit from the quota? Who will be hurt?

People sometimes argue that imports should be limited by government policy. Suppose a government quota on the quantity of sugar to be imported to the United States occurs. What is likely to happen to the price of sugar in the United States and in the rest of the world? List the four sectors of the economy along with the type of spending associated with each sector. Order the types of spending in terms of magnitude, and give an example of each kind of spending.

Consider the following model of an economy with no international trade, and in which the price level is fixed: C = 40 + (8/9)∙DI I = 30 G = 30 Taxes = (1/8)∙GDP where C is consumption demand, DI is disposable income, I is planned investment, G is government purchases, and all whole numbers are in billions of dollars. Determine the equilibrium level of production (GDP) in this economy (show your work), and draw this equilibrium situation on a graph. Use the multiplier to determine the change in equilibrium GDP that would result from an exogenous 16 billion dollar increase of government purchases. Then determine…
