For the goods market of an open economy to be in equilibrium, the interest rate must be at 2% when GDP equals 120. We also know the following about consumption (C), investment (1), fiscal policy (taxes T and government expenditures G), imports (M) and exports (X) of the country: C = 20 + b*Y_{D} I = 44 T = 60 G = 22 M = 16 X = 32 where b is the marginal propensity to consume and Yo is net disposable income. What is the value of total consumption? Select one: a. 18 b. 20 C. 38 d. 120
I and T are fixed (I=Io and T=to), so we know that if households attempt to save more, cet. par., Private saving will rise and the government budget deficit (GBD) will fall. Private saving will fall and the GBD will rise. Private saving will not change, but the GBD will rise. none of the above Provide appropriate name(s) and explain using I=sum of Saving.

n an effort to make sales projections, M/s K, B and A, the three B-school executives of Vengaboys Inc., were discussing about the national income and its growth in Ibiza. K had estimated a linear consumption function for Ibiza to be C = 100 + 0.6 Y, and investment to be I = 100 per ear. In Ibiza, there was no income tax and government spending was minimal (assume 0). Ibiza was a closed economy, and hence no exports and imports. (i)K immediately knew what the investment Multiplier was. Can you find out? (ii)What is the level of income in Ibiza? (iii)K estimated that with Government spending 100 on a new road to be constructed, the income levels are sure to go up. K quickly calculated the change in income and the new income level to be:
