During the 2012 fiscal year, households in an economy spent 80 per cent of their disposable income on consumption as well as GH¢300 consumption expenditure which is independent of income. Total government expenditure which stood at GH¢800 was supposed to be financed from a proportional tax levy of 50 per cent of national income and a VAT of GH¢100. Total private investment spending was made up of GH¢400 whereas export was GH¢400 and anautonomous import of GH¢500. Also, marginal propensity to import was 0.15

Consider an economy in which investment is $200, government purchases are $500, net exports are $30, and the price level is fixed. Taxes vary with income, and as a result, the consumption schedule looks like that shown in the following table. Fill in the missing values.
Graph the aggregate expenditure graph using the above data. This is the graph with Aggregate Expenditures on the Y axis and Real GDP on the x axis. Start with a forty five degree line.
Suppose that full employment comes at GDP=$1,480.
Is the economy in an inflationary or recessionary gap?
What action would you take to close the gap?

- Which of the following correctly describes how a decrease in the price level affects consumption spending? Select one: a. A decrease in the price level raises real wealth, which causes consumption to increase. b. A decrease in the price level decreases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase. c. A decrease in the price level increases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase. d. A decrease in the price level lowers real wealth, which causes consumption to decrease.arrow_forwardSuppose a closed economy with no government spending or taxing is capable of producing an output of $3,000 at full employment.
