Suppose an imaginary closed economy is characterized by the following: C = c0 + c1 (Y − T) T = t0 + t1Y I = 300 G = 300 C is consumption, Y and YD are, respectively, income and disposable income, T is the level of taxes, and I and G, are, respectively, private investment, and government spending. c0 and c1 are, respectively, autonomous consumption and the marginal propensity to consume; their values are unknown. However, the expression for private saving, S, is as specified below, where s1 is the marginal propensity to save out of total income. S = 0.4Y − 500 Assuming that the marginal tax rate, t1, is equal to 0.1 and the equilibrium GDP is 2000, find the level of autonomous taxes, t0, the equilibrium values of consumption, disposable income, and private saving.

Suppose a closed economy has an aggregate consumption function given by C = 50 + 0.50Yd and generates $2500 output and income in equilibrium. Suppose also that the government spends 400 and imposes a lump-sum tax of 100. What is the level of intended investment?
onsider a closed economy to which the Keynesian-cross analysis applies. Consumption is given by the equation C = 200 + 2/3(Y – T). Planned investment is 300, as are government spending and taxes. What is equilibrium Y? (Hint: Substitute the values of equations for planned consumption, investment, and government spending into the equation Y = C + I + G and then solve for Y.) What are equilibrium consumption, private saving, public saving, and national saving?
Consider an economy that works acoording to the classical model, and the Fisher equation holds for the money market. In this economy the consumption function is C(Y-T)=250+0.75(Y-T), the investment function is I(r)=1000-50r, where Y is income, T is net taxes and r is real interest rate. The government spends 1100 units of output on goods and services and coolects 1000 units as taxes. The labor supply is 1000, while the capital stock is 2500 units. The production function of this economy can be described as Y=K0.5L0.5. The economy is in its long-run equilibrium. The velocity of money is 2, while nominal supply of money is 6000. a) Calculate the equilibrium interest rate of this economy. b) Calculate the price level. c) What is the real wage at which the labor market is at equilibrium? What is the nominal wage? Plzzz give answer of all questions.

Explain and diagrammatically represent the shift in the DLF curve as a result of each of the following: -- a rise in autonomous investment -- a rise in the size of the budget deficit -- a decline in autonomous investment 25. What is autonomous investment?
Suppose a closed economy has an intended investment of 100 and an aggregate consumption function given by C = 250 + 0.75Yd. Suppose also that the government spends 150 but collects no taxes. What is equilibrium output and income?
Suppose in a simple Keynesian economy, planned consumption function is given by C=250+0.65(Y-T). Planned investment, government purchases, taxes are $100 million, $100 million and $150 million respectively. What is MPC, MPS and autonomous consumption Derive the saving function. What is the equilibrium level of income? Y= AD=C+I+G If government purchases increase to $150 million, what is the new equilibrium level of income? What level of government purchases is needed to achieve an income of $2000 million? From question e) you get the newly government purchase. Now find out the multiplier value What is the amount of shift in AD curve? [Use the multiplier value from (5)]
Assume an economy in which:(i) there are no exports and no imports,(ii) investors always want to spend $200 billion, or I = 200,(iii) government spends $500 billion and tax revenue is $200 billion,(iv) consumption is a linear function of disposable income, C=100+0.8Yd Assume that the government eliminates taxes while keeping governmentspending the same. (Thus T = 0 and G = 500.) The economy’s consumption function andinvestment remain unchanged. What is the new equilibrium level of national income?
Assume a hypothetical closed economy. The National income identity expression for this economy is given as follows; Y= C + I + G, where C = α + β (Y – T), I is autonomous investment spending and G represents Govt purchases. Suppose that marginal propensity to consume is 0.70 . If the Government decreases spending by kshs 300 billion, calculate the change in real income If the Government increases taxes by kshs 200 billion, calculate the change in real income If the Government decreases spending by kshs 500 billion and at the same time decreases taxes by kshs 400 billion, calculate the change in real income.
Suppose a closed economy has an intended investment of 200 and an aggregate consumption function given by C = 250 + 0.75Yd. Suppose also that the government spends 200 but collects no taxes. What is equilibrium output and income? (round your answer to the nearest whole value)
