- 7 Suppose a closed economy with no government spending which in equilibrium is producing an output and income of 1100. Suppose also that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.80, and that, if at full employment, the economy would produce an output and income of 3850 By how much would the government need to cut taxes (T) to bring the economy to full employment? (round your answer to the nearest whole value)arrow_forwardDefine the concept of equilibrium in the simple expenditure model we developed in class. Now, explain what signal in spending will tell us that the economy is not in equilibrium? Lastly, assume that we find that actual Y is greater than equilibrium Y, Ye thus actual current Y>Ye. Explain the reaction by firms to this situation and what you expect to happen to the actual level of Y because of this corporate reaction. Show the graph of the initial situation and the resulting change in Y due to the corporate reaction.arrow_forward1.)

- Given: C = 250 + 0.8 Y I = 150 G = 300 TR = 100 NX = 100 t =0.25 i) Find the equilibrium level of income. ii) Suppose, because of current COVID-19 situation C falls to 50, MPS falls to .05, I falls to 10, G falls to 100 and NX falls to 10. How much TR should the government increase to have the same level of equilibrium income as in part i)? iii) In determining the required change in TR in part ii), which multiplier did you use and why? (Hint: keep in mind the consumption tendency households may have under the COVID 19 situation in selecting the multiplier). iv) Draw a graph to show the appropriate changes between part i) and part ii). v) Give an example related to current Bangladeshi situation where the government may follow a 'Transfer Promoting Policy' instead of a 'Growth Promoting Policy' in determining who gets the transfer payment. vi) Instead of paying transfer (TR) if the government were to increase government spending (G), what type of crowding out would you expect?

What is productivity in this economy?b. What is the per-unit cost of production if the price of each input unit is $2?c. Assume that the input price increases from $2 to $3 with no accompanying change in productivity. What is the new per-unit cost of production? In what direction would the $1 increase in input price push the economy’s aggregate supply curve? What effect would this shift of aggregate supply have on the price level and the level of real output?d. Suppose that the increase in input price does not occur but, instead, that productivity increases by 100 percent. What would be the new per-unit cost of production? What effect would this change in per-unit production cost have on the economy’s aggregate supply curve?
