The following equations describe an economy: Y = C + I + G + X – M [where X=exports, M=imports] C = 150 + 0.7*(Y - T) T = 30 I = 300 G = 60 X = 140 M = 100 + 0.2*(Y - T) Which of the following statement is true? The value of the government spending multiplier is 3.33. If exports increase by 10, equilibrium Y will increase by 20. If government spending increases by 40, equilibrium Y will increase by 333. Without any changes, the equilibrium level of Y is 2167.

Suppose an economy is represented by the following equations. Consumption function C = 300 + 0.8Yd Planned investment I = 400 Government spending G = 500 Exports EX = 200 Imports IM = 0.1Yd Autonomous Taxes T = 500 Marginal Tax Rate t=0.25 Planned aggregate expenditure AE = C + I + G + (EX - IM) By using the above information calculate the equilibrium level of income for this economy and explain how multiplier changes when we have an open economy
Suppose that out of the original 100 of government spending, 33 will be recycled back into purchases of domestically produced goods and services in the second round and 10.89 is spent in the third round. Following this multiplier effect, what will the value of the total aggregate expenditures be after the fourth round in the cycle is completed?
Suppose an economy is described by the following equations: Y = C + I + G + X – M C = 14 + 0.60Yd I = 20 G = 20 X = 15 M = 5 +0.1Y T = 20 + 0.4Y Where Y is domestic income Yd is private disposable income C is aggregate consumption spending T is government tax revenue I is investment spending G is government spending E represents exports M represents imports of goods and services. (a) Find out the equilibrium value of income. (b) What is the value of export multiplier?
Suppose an economy is described by the following equations: Y = C + I + G + X – M C = 14 + 0.60Yd I = 20 G = 20 X = 15 M = 5 +0.1Y T = 20 + 0.4Y Where Y is domestic income Yd is private disposable income C is aggregate consumption spending T is government tax revenue I is investment spending G is government spending E represents exports M represents imports of goods and services. (a) If the equilibrium national income is less than the full-employment level of income by N$100, what should be the increase in government spending or in exports to attain the full-employment level of income? (b) With a help of a diagram explain and discuss life cycle hypothesis.
Consider a hypothetical economy where there are no taxes and no international trade. Households spend $0.60 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.40. If there are no taxes and no international trade, the oversimplified multiplier for this economy is __________. Suppose investment spending in this economy increases by $250 billion. The increase in investment will lead to an increase in income, generating an increase in consumption that increases income yet again, and so on. Fill in the following table to show the impact of the change in investment spending on the first two rounds of consumption spending and, eventually, on total output and income. Now consider a more realistic case. Specifically, assume that the government in our hypothetical economy collects income taxes. In this case, the multiplier will be ______ (options: the same as, smaller than, larger than) the oversimplified multiplier you found earlier. Suppose that the price level in our…
Suppose that there is an autonomous increase in investment spending of $20 billion and the MPC is given as 0.4, and assuming taxes, imports, and savings are all equal and there are no leakages: How large is the spending multiplier? Use the simple multiplier equation to calculate it. How much is the total change in GDP from this autonomous increase in investment spending? Do you think a larger or smaller MPC would help the economy, and why? What could be some concerns about the Keynesian spending multiplier?
The following graph shows the total expenditure line (TE) for an economy where current equilibrium output is $350 billion and potential output is $600 billion. The economy is experiencing _________ (a contractionary gap, an inflationary gap) equal to $______ billion. To close the output gap, government purchases could _______ (increase, decrease) by _____ ($50, 150, 75) billion. Thus, the value of the multiplier for this economy is ___________ (0.7143, 0.5833, 0.4167, 1.6667, 0.6).
Suppose that the consumer’s consumption demand function is given by Cd = 0.8(Y−T)+10. Investment is Id = 20, government expenditure is G = 10, and tax is T = 10. What is the equilibrium GDP (income)? Suppose that government expenditure increases by 10 units while tax is unchanged. How will GDP change? What is the multiplier? Suppose that government expenditure increases by 10 units while tax also increases by 10 units. How will GDP change? What is the multiplier?
Consider the income-expenditure identity in the closed economy of Macroland, Y = C + I + G. Suppose consumption is always a fraction MPC of income, C = MPCX Y a. Show that income Y is equal to (I + G) / (1 - MPC). b. Suppose that the citizens of Macroland spend 80% of their income and save 20%. Suppose that in equilibrium, government expenditures in Macroland are $50 billion, and investment is $60 billion. Calculate the level of income/expenditure in Macroland. c. Suppose that the Department of Macrolandian Economic Expansion wants to increase income/expenditure by $100 billion. By how much should it increase government expenditures to achieve this? d. Is the amount you answered for part c. less than, equal, to, or greater than $100 billion? Explain why this is the case.
Assume that the foreign economy is characterized by the same equations as the domestic economy (with asterisks reversed). Use the two sets of equations to solve for the equilibrium output of each country. (Hint: Use the equations for the foreign economy to solve for Y* as a function of Y and substitute this solution for Y* in part (a).) What is the multiplier for each country now? Why is it different from the open economy multiplier in part (a)?
Consider the following model of an economy with no international trade, and in which the price level is fixed: C = 40 + (8/9)∙DI I = 30 G = 30 Taxes = (1/8)∙GDP where C is consumption demand, DI is disposable income, I is planned investment, G is government purchases, and all whole numbers are in billions of dollars. Determine the equilibrium level of production (GDP) in this economy (show your work), and draw this equilibrium situation on a graph. Use the multiplier to determine the change in equilibrium GDP that would result from an exogenous 16 billion dollar increase of government purchases. Then determine…
