Answer the following questions, which relate to the aggregate expenditures model:a. If Ca is $100, Ig is $50, Xn is -$10, and G is $30, what is the economy’s equilibrium GDP?b. If real GDP in an economy is currently $200, Ca is $100, Ig is $50, Xn is -$10, and G is $30, will the economy’s real GDP rise, fall, or stay the same?c. Suppose that full-employment (and full-capacity) output in an economy is $200. If Ca is $150, Ig is $50, Xn is -$10, and G is $30, what will be the macroeconomic result?
Determine whether each of the following, other factors held constant, would, in the short run, lead to an increase, a decrease, or no change in the level of real GDP demanded:
a. A decrease in government purchases
b. An increase in net taxes
c. A reduction in transfer payments
d. A decrease in the marginal propensity to consume.
f the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and the federal government decreases spending by $200 billion the income-expenditure model predicts that real GDP will fall by:
$750 billion
$150 billion
$1000 billion
$800 billion
