LO 2,5 A consumer receives income y in the current period and income y' in the future period, and pays taxes of t and t' in the current and future periods, respectively. The consumer can borrow and lend at the real interest rate r. This consumer faces a constraint on how much he or she can borrow, much like the credit limit typically placed on a credit card account. That is, the consumer cannot borrow more than x, where x < we-y+t, with we denoting lifetime wealth. Use diagrams to determine the effects on the consumer's current consumption, future consumption, and saving of a change in x, and explain your results.arrow_forward

What is the effect on the real interest rate? Select one: O a. There is no effect on NS or ID, and the interest rate remains at i*. O b. The real interest rate rises because of the decrease in the budget surplus. O C. National saving shifts to NS₁, and the real interest rate falls to i3. O d.

Suppose the Japanese economy has been experiencing slow growth. As a result, the Prime Minister, who thinks John Maynard Keynes was the greatest economist ever, has decided to increase government spending. The Prime Minister asks the head of the economic council to determine the increase in government spending necessary to bring the economy to full employment. Assume there is a GDP gap of 1 trillion yen and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.60. What advice should the head of the economic council give the Prime Minister? O The recessionary gap is equal to 400 billion yen. O The inflationary gap is equal to 400 billion yen. O The recessionary gap is equal to 625 billion yen. O The inflationary gap is equal to 625 billion yen.arrow_forward

O A. Disagree: While GDP will be high in this case, it is the result of an increase in consumer expenditure on stocks, not investment spending. Agree: GDP =C+I+G+ NX. Therefore, as "I" (Investment) increases, GDP increases. B. O C. Disagree: Investment as a component of GDP refers to the purchase of physical and human capital and inventory, not stock purchases. O D. Agree: When investment is high, people must have more money to spend. Therefore, GDP increases.arrow_forwardAssume there are no prospective investment projects (1) that will yield an expected rate of return (r) of 25 percent or more, but there are $5 billion of investment opportunities with an expected rate of return between 20 and 25 percent, an additional $5 billion between 15 and 20 percent, and so on.

- Suppose consumption function is specified as C= $200 + 0.75Ya planned investment is $600, net taxes are $400, and government spending totals $500 of a hypothetical economy in 2020. Find algebraically: LO 3 A. The equilibrium level of aggregate output by equating aggregate output and planned aggregate expenditure. B. Consumption when aggregate output is at the equilibrium level. C. Saving when aggregate output is at the equilibrium level. D. Establish that leakages equal injections at the equilibrium level of aggregate output.arrow_forwardADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume that the consumption schedule for a private open economy is such that consumption C= 60 + 08Y Assume further that planned investment lo government spending G, and net exports X are independent of the level of real GDP nd constant at lg 40, G= 0, and Xp= 10. Recall also that, in equilibrium, the real output produced () is equal to aggregate expenditures: Y= C+lg+ G+ Xp Instructions: Round your answers to the nearest whole number. a.
