Suppose actual real GDP is $4 trillion, potential real GDP is $1 trillion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 6. If we ignore price effects, by how many trillions of dollars should the government change its lump sum taxes to fix the gap? (Round this to two digits after the decimal and enter this value as either a positive value or a negative value without the dollar sign.)

Exercise D24 Compare two policies: a tax cut on income or an increase in government spending on roads and bridges. What are both the short-term and longâ€”term impacts of such policies on the economy?
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.
If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, byhow much would government spending have to rise toincrease output by $1,000 billion? By how muchwould taxes need to decrease to increase output by$1,000 billion?

i) C = 1500 + mpc (Y – tY)ii) I = 800iii) G = 500iv) X – M = 500 – mpi (Y)where:t = the (flat) tax ratempc = the marginal propensity toconsumempi = the marginal propensity toimportsuppose mpc = .80, t = .25, mpi =.2a. solve for the equilibrium outputb. Solve for the (government)spending multiplier.c. When we discussed the multiplier we discussed the impact effect. For example, suppose that G increases by 100to 600 and we assume, as we often do, that firms match the increase in demandby increasing Y by 100. In round two,this is an increase in income of 100 to consumers. Trace out exactly where this100 increase in income goes in the second round and compare to our simpler treatmentwith a closed economy and lump sum taxes. Hint, there are three leakages toaddress(again, please be very specific as to where the 100 increase income‘goes’ in this second round).d. What would happen to the multiplier if the mpi rises to .25. Please explain the intuition.
