Assume that total expenditure E comprises the sum of government consumption, G, household consumption, C, and investment, I. Assume a closed macroeconomic system, so that income equals expenditure Y=E. If we define household saving, SH, as SH=Y-T-C, where the cunsumption function is a fixed proportion of disposable income, C=c(Y-T), which of the following will be true?
a. Higher government spending alongside unchanged taxation will lead to higher investment and higher household saving
b. Higher government spending alongside unchanged taxation will have no effect on household saving or investment
c. Higher government spending alongside unchanged taxation will lead to higher household saving
d. Higher government spending alongside unchanged taxation will lead to lower household saving
Assume that the consumption schedule for a private open economy is such that consumption C = 50 + 0.8Y. Assume further that planned investment Ig and net exports Xn are independent of the level of real GDP and constant at Ig = 30 and Xn = 10. Recall also that, in equilibrium, the real output produced (Y ) is equal to aggregate expenditures: Y = C + Ig + Xn.a. Calculate the equilibrium level of income or real GDP for this economy.b. What happens to equilibrium Y if Ig changes to 10? What does this outcome reveal about the size of the multiplier?
Suppose that the level of income is $1000 and the tax rate is 0.1 %.
