Imagine this economy has a 10% tax on income. The following are exogenous (not directly affected by income): G = 11 I = 4 X = M = 0 The consumption function is: C = k + cY, where k = 3, c = 0.8 Now we have to take that tax into account. Here is a way to think about it: Look at the consumption function. It says if you give me one more dollar of income I will spend 80 cents of it (mpc = 0.8). BUT I can only spend what I receive. I can only spend my after-tax or disposable income. With a 10% tax, I don't receive Y I receive 90% of Y or Y*(1-t) where t = 10% or 0.1.   Let's define disposable income as Yd where Yd = Y*(1-t).   Therefore we restate our consumption function as C = k + cYd   Now we have, in this case, C = k + cYd or C = 3 + 0.8Yd or C = 3 + 0.8*(Y*[1-0.1]) or C = 3 + 0.72Y. Now what is the equilibrium GDP? Give the answer to ONE decimal place.

Q1: There are two equations for macroeconomic equilibrium in an economy. State them. Show (mathematically) that Savings equals Investment when expenditure equals income. What type of economy would you have when exports equal imports? What happens to the savings-investment relationship if exports are not equal to imports? [This can be greater than or less than]. [Hint: See video lecture on Open Economy Macroeconomics]. Note: Ensure to write out full meanings when you use abbreviations or short forms. This is key to getting full marks.
Due to an increase in consumer wealth, there is a $40 billion autonomous increase in consumer spending in the economies of Westlandia and Eastlandia. Assuming that the aggregate price level is constant, the interest rate is fixed in both countries, and there are no taxes and no foreign trade, complete the accompanying tables to show the various rounds of increased spending that will occur in both economies if the marginal propensity to consume is 0.5 in Westlandia and 0.75 in Eastlandia. What do your results indicate about the relationship between the size of the marginal propensity to consume and the multiplier?
The following are exogenous (not directly affected by income): G = 9 I = 14 X = M = 0 The consumption function is: C = k + cY, where k = 8, c = 0.6 What is the equilibrium level of GDP? State to ONE decimal place What is the multiplier for this economy? The following are exogenous (not directly affected by income): G = 11 I = 4 X = M = 0 The consumption function is: C = k + cY, where k = 3, c = 0.8 What is the equilibrium level of GDP? What is the multiplier? Same information as in the previous question: The following are exogenous (not directly affected by income): G = 11 I = 4 X = M = 0 The consumption function is: C = k + cY, where k = 3, c = 0.8 Imagine the maximum potential output or real GDP of this economy is 100. Assume that is the same as saying we reach the edge of the PPF at 100. Now assume we want to get that economy from the current level of GDP to its maximum potential of 100. We can do this in two ways - either increase government spending (G) or reduce taxes, (we…
For this problem set, we're going to keep things simple. Be sure to watch the lecture before completing this. Please use the following information and the following model from your book (and the lecture) to calculate Y (aggregate incomes in an economy). BE SURE TO SHOW YOUR WORK (It's the reason I made this a problem set instead of a quiz) Y=C+1+G C= Co + C;(Y-t) Total spending in a small society: Household spending on medicine: $4,000 Household spending on food: $1,000 • Household spending on recreation and entertainment: 20% of income • Household spending on clothing: 15% of income • Household spending on art: 40% of income • Business investment on product lines: $10,000 • Business investment on equipment: $1,500 • Government spending on national defense: $3,600 • Government spending on roads: $2,000

Consider an economy described by the following equations. Y= C + I + GC= 100 + .75 (Y - T)I= 500 - 50rG= 125T= 100 Where: Y is GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government spending, T is taxes and r is the rate of interest. Answer the questions based on the following equations above. a. What is the value of the multiplier? b. What is the equilibrium equation for Y? Show your solution. c. Suppose the Central Bank policy is to adjust the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 4 percent, so r=4. What is the value of output? Show your solution. d. Assuming that no change in fiscal policy, what is the effect of a reduction in interest rate from 4 percent to 3 percent on equilibrium output. Show your solution. e. In this case, explain the policy that was used by the policymaker to target the aggregate demand.
