Q8. For the data in the following table, the consumption function is C = 800 + 0.6(Y – T). Fill in the columns in the table and identify the equilibrium output. Output Net Taxes Disposable Income Consumption Saving Planned Investment Government Expenditure Planned AE Unplanned Inventory change 2100 100 300 400 2600 3100 3600 4100 4600 5100
Consider an economy described by the following equations: Y = C+I+G Y = 5000 G = 1000 T = 1000 C = 250 + 0.75(Y-T) I = 1000 - 50r In this economy, compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Find equilibrium interest rate. Now suppose that G rises to 1250. Compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Find the new equilibrium interest rate. Using your knowledge of Macroeconomics and intuition explain the reason why increasing government expenditure causes interest rate to rise? If the government wants to increase the amount of savings in the economy, how should it alter government spending? What effect will this action have on the interest rate in the economy?
Q) Consider the multiplier model (in which the only component of expenditure that depends on income is consumption), and suppose that investment expenditures decrease by $50 million. All else equal, then the spending-balance level of output will A) increase by $50 million B) decrease by $50 million C) decrease by more than $50 million D) decrease by less than $50 million Explain it early and correctly
Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75. That is, if disposable income increases by $1, consumption increases by 75¢. Suppose further that last year disposable income in the economy was $500 billion and consumption was $450 billion. From the preceding data, you know that the level of saving in the economy last year was $________ billion and the marginal propensity to save in this economy is ____________. Suppose that this year, disposable income is projected to be $700 billion. Based on your analysis, you would expect consumption to be $_____ billion and saving to be $________ billion.
The table shows disposable income and consumption expenditure in an economy. Calculate saving when disposable income equals $200 billion. Over what range of disposable income does consumption expenditure exceed disposable income? Calculate autonomous consumption expenditure. >>> Answer to 1 decimal place. When disposable income is $200 billion, saving is______billion dollars. >>> If your answer is negative, include a minus sign. If your answer is positive, do not include a plus sign. When disposable income is greater than $800 billion, consumption expenditure exceeds disposable income. Autonomous consumption expenditure equals$___billion. Disposable income Consumption expenditure (billions of dollars) 200 350 400 500 600 650 800 800 1,000 950
Economists in Funlandia, which has a closed economy, have collected the following information about the economy for a particular year: YY = = 10,00010,000 CC = = 6,0006,000 TT = = 1,5001,500 GG = = 1,7001,700 The economists also estimate that the investment function is: II = = 3,300−100r3,300−100r where rr is the country’s real interest rate, expressed as a percentage. Complete the following table by calculating private saving, public saving, national saving, investment, and the equilibrium real interest rate. Component Amount Private Saving Public Saving National Saving Investment Equilibrium Real Interest Rate
Find the equilibrium level of GDP (income or V) demanded in an economy in which investment (1) is always $300, net exports (X-IM) are always - 550, government expenditures (G) and taxes (T) are each equal to $400, and the consumption function is described by the following algebraic equation: C = 150 + 0.75Dl DI is disposable income. How much saving (5) is there at the equilibrium level of income. Hint: (1) Dl = Y (national income or GDP) minus taxes (Y-T) (2) Income (Y) not consumed (C) must be saved (S). This means that S = Y-C. (3) to answer this you have to set Y=AE or Y=C+1+G (X-IM), and solve for Y. Then you have to solve for S.
Very briefly summarize the relationships shown by (a) the consumption schedule, (b) the saving schedule, (c) the investment demand curve, and (d) the multiplier effect. Which of these relationships are direct (positive) relationships and which are inverse (negative) relationships? Why are consumption and saving in the United States greater today than they were a decade ago?
