Find the equilibrium size of income Y and the size of the Multiplier of Business Investment Assume now that a government sector is introduced, while business investment is still I=£30,000.

Assume that the economy can be defined by the following set of equations: C = 100 + 0.2 Yd (where C is consumption and Yd is disposable income) | = 500 – 30r (where I is investment and r = 5 units) G = 0.2 Y (where G is government expenditure and Y is income) Assuming that government maintains a balanced budget policy (i.e., G =T) Find the investment multiplier: А. 30 В. -30 С. 46.9 D. -46.9 %3D
Suppose in a simple Keynesian economy, planned consumption function is given by C=250+0.65(Y-T). Planned investment, government purchases, taxes are $100 million, $100 million and $150 million respectively. What is MPC, MPS and autonomous consumption Derive the saving function. What is the equilibrium level of income? Y= AD=C+I+G If government purchases increase to $150 million, what is the new equilibrium level of income? What level of government purchases is needed to achieve an income of $2000 million? From question (5) you get the newly government purchase. Now find out the multiplier value What is the amount of shift in AD curve? [Use the multiplier value from (5)] ** Need the answer of question 7 only **
The private consumption of Macroland is given by C=500+0.75Y and the private investment function is given by I=400−1000r, where r is the interest rate and Y is the GDP. The planned aggregate expenditure can therefore be written as PE=C+I=900+0.75Y−1000r. The equilibrium in the goods and services market happens when the planned expenditure is equal to the actual expenditure, or PE=Y Find the equilibrium GDP by solving the system of equations PE=900+0.75Y-1000r PE= Y for Y and PE. Note your solutions will depend on r! 1. Plot your solution for Y in a diagram measuring Y on the horizontal axis and r on the vertical axis. This curve is called the IS curve.

What is the equilibrium level of income? Y= AD=C+I+G If government purchases increase to $150 million, what is the new equilibrium level of income? What level of government purchases is needed to achieve an income of $2000 million? From question e) you get the newly government purchase.

In the economy of Keynesian Island, autonomous consumption expenditure is $50 million, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. Investment is $160 million, government expenditure is $190 million, and net taxes are $250 million. Investment, government purchases, and taxes are constant—they do not vary with income. The island does not trade with the rest of the world. If the government increases its purchases by $200 million, what will be the change in the economy's equilibrium real GDP? Show the change on the graph as well.
Suppose that the consumer’s consumption demand function is given by Cd = 0.8(Y−T)+10. Investment is Id = 20, government expenditure is G = 10, and tax is T = 10. What is the equilibrium GDP (income)? Suppose that government expenditure increases by 10 units while tax is unchanged. How will GDP change? What is the multiplier? Suppose that government expenditure increases by 10 units while tax also increases by 10 units. How will GDP change? What is the multiplier?

Q1. Find Equilibrium output/ national income with given following C = 140 + 0.9 (Yd) This is the consumption function where 140 is autonomous consumption, 0.9 is the marginal propensity to consume, and Yd is disposable (i.e. after tax income). Yd = Y- T, where Y is national income (or GDP) and T = Tax Revenues = 0.3Y; note that 0.3 is the average income tax rate. I = Investment = 400 G = Government spending = 800 X = Exports = 600 M = Imports = 0.15Y
If autonomous consumption is 400 and the multiplier is 4, the saving function is equal to * S= 400 +4Yd S= -400 + 0.75Yd S= 400 +0.1Yd S= -400+0.25Y. Suppose disposable income increases from $7 trillion to $8 trillion. At the same time, consumption expenditure increases from $6.8 trillion to Thus the MPC must equal $7.8 trillion; 0.60 $7.6 trillion; 0.80 $7.4 trillion; 0.40 $8 trillion; 1.00
In a closed economy, the demand for the output consists of consumption (C), Investment (I), and government spending (G), i.e., D=C+I+G. The total income of all people in the economy is equal to GDP. At the same time, consumption depends on disposable income: C=Co+a*(GDP-T) where T is tax, 0
You are given the following data concerning Kadwan, a country located in the mountains. • Consumption function: C = 125 +0.50Y • Investment function: I = 125 • Aggregate expenditure function: AE =C+I • Equilibrium: AE = Y Describe the graph of the consumption function and the aggregate expenditure function and then identify the equilibrium level of income. The consumption function has an intercept of and a slope equal to MPC = =. The AE line is found by adding I to C. AE is achieved at Y = C with a slope equal to the MPC and an intercept of Equilibrium is steeper than parallel to flatter than
