G = 50

T = 20 + 0.2 × Y

T R = 10 − 0.1 × Y

where Y is national income.

The basic consumption function is given by

C = 30 + 0.8 × YD

where YD is disposable national income.  

The desired investment is an autonomous term

I = 30

a) Write down the equation for the AE (aggregate expenditure) function for this economy.

b) Compute the equilibrium level of national income in this economy.

c) Compute the value of the simple multiplier.
