Assume the following model of the economy Y =C+I+G C = 120 + 0.5 (Y-T) I= 100 -10r G = 50 T=40 Derive the equation for the IS curve, showing Y as a function of r alone. Solve for the value of Y when r=10%, r=15%, r=20%
Use the following macroeconomic model structure to answer the questions followed. 8 pts C = 300 + 0.8Yd; C = consumption function; Yd (Y-T) = disposable income I = 200; I = Investment G = 400; G = Government expenditure T = 200; T = Tax revenue Also assume that Yf = Full employment GDP (Potential GDP) = 5,000 8.1.

At the equilibrium level of output, the aggregate consumption level is: a. 3,100 b. 3,250 c. 3,400 d. 3,625 8.3. At the equilibrium level of output, the aggregate saving level is: a. 550 b. 450 c. 400 d. 350 8.4.

Q1) What would be the impact of changing the determinant variables given in the first column (below) on consumption? Determinant Consumption Income (decrease) (Increase) Assets held (increase in) Taxation ( increase ) ( Decrease) Cost of credit (High of interest rates) Expectations (that prices will decrease) Tastes and attitudes (people want to consume more) The average age of durables (increases)
Due to some negative news concerning the impact of global warming on the economy, consumers are becoming more pessimistic about the future to the point of reducing autonomous consumption by 50. What is the immediate impact on income before the economy adjusts to its new equilibrium? What are the economy’s equilibrium level of output Y and interest rate r following the fall in autonomous consumption? Compute the equilibrium level of consumption and investment spending. With the help of the IS/LM graph, carefully explain what happens to the economy following the fall in consumer confidence.
Consider a national income model as: Y= C + I0 + G Y= National Income C= (Planned) Consumption Expenditure I0= Investment G= Government Expenditure Consider Y= 20trillion, G= 4.2trillion, I0= 3.8 trillion. Explain the key elements missing from the National Income model. Add a new endogenous variable to represent that missing element or endogenize one of the exogenous variables to address this issue. C= a+ b(Y-T0) (a>0, 0<b<1) G= gY (0<g<1)
Consumption Function) How would an increase in each of the following affect the consumption function? a. Consumers’ net wealth b. The price level c. Disposable income
According to the permanent income hypothesis, how will the parcel or when in consumption change and respond to call: a temporary decrease in income when it occurs. A permanent decrease in income when it occurs are the answers different if the changes in income are on anticipated that is is they are News.
Q.1.14 In the Keynesian model, what is the most important determinant of a household’s consumption?(a) Disposable income.(b) Total wealth.(c) The number of persons in the household.(d) Its’ net wealth.
Examine the graph above. Suppose that government increases its spending, shifting the aggregate expenditure line upwards. GDP increases from GDP1 to GDP2, and this amount is $550 billion. If the MPC is 0.8, calculate the difference between the points N and L to find out by how much the government spending changed.
Clearly explain the characteristics of the consumption function.
