Students have asked these similar questions
When the economy is operating at the equilibrium level of? GDP, we know that
A.
total planned real consumption expenditures equal real GDP.
B.
total planned real expenditures equal real GDP.
C.
planned real investment spending equals real net exports of zero.
D.
real net exports equal inventory changes.
Assume consumption is represented by the following function: C=400+0.75Y. Also assume that planned investment (I) equals 100 and there are no government or taxes.
How will planned investment spending change as the following events occur?
a) The interest rate falls as a result of Federal Reserve policy.
b) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency decrees that corporation must upgrade or replace their machinery in order to reduce their emissions of sulfur dioxide.
c) Baby boomers begin to retire in large number and reduce their savings, resulting in higher interest rates.
