The autonomous consumption expenditures and autonomous investment expenditures in an economy are $600 and $350, respectively. It is also observed that individuals spend 70% of their additional income on consumption. Write down the consumption function for this economy using the information provided above. (Round your response for the intercept term to the nearest whole number and for the slope term to one decimal place.) C . +..Y Write down the aggregate expenditure function for this economy using the information provided above. (Round your response for the intercept term to the nearest whole number and for the slope term to one decimal place.) AE =..+..Y •.. The equilibrium income that would set the actual national income to the desired aggregate expenditure is $. (Round your response to the nearest dollar.) If the actual national income were $1,584 in this economy, then the inventories of the firms would be failing or rising and firms would reduce or increase their output.
Assume that that tax revenues (T) are proportional to income (Y). That means if the tax rate is equal to t, then we have T = tY.Also, consumption (C) and investment (I) functions are given as the following: C = a + b (Y – T) [where a and b are constant]I = c – dr. [where c and d are constant, and r is the interest rate] A) Find the expression of the government purchase multiplier. (Use derivative) B) What will happen to multiplier if tax rate increases? What will happen to multiplier if MPC increases?
Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.50. That is, if disposable income increases by $1, consumption increases by 50c. Suppose further that last year disposable income in the economy was $400 billion and consumption was $350 billion. On the following graph, use the blue line (arcle symbol) to pict this economy's consumption function based on these data. CONSUMPTION (Bions of dollars) ) 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 -100 9 100 200 300 400 500 000 DISPOSABLE INCOME (Billions of dollars) 700 000 From the preceding data, you know that the level of savings in the economy last year was 3 economy is billion and the marginal propensity to save in this Suppose that this year, disposable income is projected to be $600 billion. Based on your analysis, you would expect consumption to be 3 billion and savings to be S billion,

Consider the hypothetical country of Kejimkujik. Suppose that national income in Kejimkujik is $300 billion, households pay $100 billion in taxes, household consumption is equal to $160 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.6. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot the economy's consumption function.

The consumption demand function merely states that as income goes up, households consume all their increased income
Consider the non-linear aggregate consumption function: C = 0.05Y²+ Y + 80 (Where, C = aggregate consumption and Y = aggregate income). b) What is the relationship between MPC and APC in this case? c)What happens to the MPC as Y becomes larger and larger? Is it likely that an aggregate consumption function would have this functional form? e) Illustrate your solutions to (b) and (c) graphically, showing the consumption function, the MPC and APC.
