5. The government of an economy has increased its spending and its taxes by the same amount. i) What is the effect on investment? Use loanable funds market framework to illustrate your answer graphically and explain in words. ii) Does higher marginal propensity to consume amplify this effect or not? Explain your answer analytically. 2nd time submitting as a post, please answer this problem fully and explain work. Please answer graphically and use words as prescribed Please explain results fully. Use graph please as well. The first time I submitted this I was given a partial answer that I believe to be inaccurate for merely half the problem and that used no graph. Macmillan macroeconomics textbook is a good reference.
1. Consider a closed economy without a government. If the GDP of theeconomy is $25,000 and the saving rate in the economy is 25 percent, theaggregate saving in the economy is ________.A) $3,320B) $6,250C) $8,000D) $8,650

Problem 1 Given the following for a closed economy I=3400 planned investment G=4000 Government spending C=3,800 +0.8 Yd consumption function T=1000 taxes Refer to problem 1. The AE function is equal to A)AE=10400+0.8Y B)AE=11200+0.8Y C)AE=7800+0.8Y D)A and B are correct Refer to problem 1. What is the equillibrium level of income? A) Y=$19000 B)Y=$56000 C) Y=52,000 D)Y=25,000 Refer to problem 1. At equillibrium Saving is equal to A)$6040 B)$7200 C)$6400 D)$7650 Refer to problem 1.If autonomous consumption decreases by $1000.the new equillibrium level of income will be equal to A)$5000 B)-5000 C)$47000 D)$37000 Refer to problem 1. If potential GDP is 20000 by how much should government expenditure change to reach full employment $-6400 $40000 $100,000 $-32,000
National Income: Where It Comes From and Where It Goes — End of Chapter Problem If consumption depends on the interest rate, saving will also depend on it. In particular, the higher the interest rate, the greater will be the return to saving. Hence, the supply of loanable funds will be represented by an upward-sloping, rather than a vertical, curve. National saving is the sum of public saving and private saving. Investment in this analysis is private investment. It does not include public investment.
