In an economy, autonomous consumption expenditure is $50 billion, investment is $200 billion, and government expenditure is $250 billion. Exports are $500 billion and imports are $450 billion. Assume that net taxes and imports are autonomous and price level is fixed. a)What is the consumotion function? b)What is the equation of the aggregate expenditure curve? c)Calculate equilibrium expenditure. d)Calculate the multiplier. e)If investment decreases to $150 billion, what is the change in equilibrium expenditure ?
Determine aggregate expenditures (AE) in this economy when real GDP (Y) is equal to $1,500 billion, $2,000 billion, and $2,500 billion.When Y = $1,500 billion, AE = billion .When Y = $2,000 billion, AE = billion . When Y = $2,500 billion, AE = billion .
Assume that the Malaysian Prime Minister proposes to implement an economic recovery plan valued at RM300 million comprising of tax cuts and government transfer payments to households. If taxes fall by RM150 million and the spending on government transfer payments increases by RM150 million, which component ( transfer payments to households or tax cuts) of the recovery plan would have the larger effect on the equilibrium of aggregate expenditure, assuming other things are unchanged? a) Briefly state and evaluate the problem of time lags in enacting and applying fiscal policy i. How might expectations of a near-term policy reversal weaken fiscal policy based on changes in tax rates ii. In view of your answers, explain the following statement: “Although fiscal policy clearly is useful in combating the extremes of severe recession and demand-pull inflation, it is impossible to use fiscal policy to fine-tune the economy to the full-employment, noninflationary level of real GDP and…
1. Given the following table. Income (RM million) Consumption (RM million) 0 100 100 150 200 200 300 250 400 300 500 350 How much is the autonomous consumption in the economy? How much investment should be increased to achieve an income of RM400 million? Calculate the MPS. Derive the consumption function. 2. Given the following information, C = 500 + 0.7Yd T = 0.2Y I = 400 G = 100 Calculate the national income equilibrium. Based on your answer in (a), draw the aggregate expenditure graph. Suppose that investment changes by 300, what would happen to the national income equilibrium? Suppose that tax (T) changes, and the new T is T = 0.2 Y + 50, calculate the new national income equilibrium. 3. Given the following information, S = -200 + 0.3Y I = 100 Calculate the national income equilibrium by using the Leakage-Injection approach. Calculate the value of saving. Draw the aggregate expenditure graph.
The accompanying graph represents the aggregate consumption function for the small island nation of Pineapple Paradise. The people of Pineapple Paradise expect their future disposable income to increase. Use the graph to show an increase in consumption expenditures. What is the new level of aggregate autonomous consumer spending? 1 $1000 2 $3000 3 $2000 4 $4000
For this problem, assume exports equal zero and that firms did not purchase any plant or equipment in the years specified. Suppose in the year 2015, firms in this this country produced 4,000 million widgets, all of which they planned on selling. (In other words, firms were not planning on any changes to their inventories.) Of those 4,000 million widgets, households purchased 3,000 million, and government purchased 750 million. In 2015, what was the relationship between actual expenditures and the amount of output (widgets) produced? All else equal, what will firms likely do in the following year?
Question Aggregate expenditure is the total amount of spending in the economy that determines the level of the GDP. Components of aggregate expenditure are autonomous expenditure, planned private investments, government expenditure, and net exports. When autonomous expenditure increases or decreases, it has a multiplied effect on the GDP. Referring to the 10-year historical period that you chose for your final project, discuss an example of a change in autonomous spending. Research a government policy implemented during that time and discuss the multiplier effect it had on the economy. I have choosen 1980-1989 in the US. **This is not a research paper - it's just a quick brief for a discussion board**
