- A simple closed economy with government sector is given by the following equations: C = 10 + 0.75 Y I = 20 G = 40 where C is aggregate consumption, Y is national income, G is government expenditure on goods and services, and I is investment expenditure. Note that there are no taxes assumed in parts (a) to (c). (a) What is the equilibrium level of national income? Show all your workings. (b) What is the value of aggregate consumption and the value of aggregate savings at the equilibrium level of the national income? Show all your workings. (c) What would be the new level of national income if government expenditure increased by 10? Show all your workings and explain the mechanisms through which the economy reaches a new equilibrium. (d) If a tax rate of 1/3 of national income were introduced, what would be the new equilibrium level of national income in the economy outlined above. Show all your workings and explain the mechanisms through which the economy reaches the new equilibrium.arrow_forwardYou are given the following information about a closed economy with no government: Consumption = 115 + 0.6Y Investment = 550 Calculate the equilibrium level of income.

- For the next three questions, consider a closed economy with the following information: Economic investment = $6000 Private savings = $4100 Output (income) = $20,000 Consumption = $11,000 This economy has no transfer payments; in other words, total taxes and "net taxes" are the same thing. calculate this economy's government purchases (G). calculate this economy's public savings. calculate this economy's taxes (T). Note that there are no transfer payments.arrow_forwardDepict graphically the aggregate expenditures model for a private closed economy. Now show a decrease in the aggregate expenditures schedule and explain why the decline in real GDP in your diagram is greater than the initial decline in aggregate expenditures. What would be the ratio of a decline in real GDP to the initial drop in aggregate expenditures if the slope of your aggregate expenditures schedule was .8?arrow_forwardEconomists often argue that a large increase in government purchases – such as for the military – will crowd out private-sector spending. Use the investment-saving diagram to defend or to refute their premise.arrow_forward
