Assume the following for the economy of a country: bullet Consumption function: Upper C equals 60 plus 0.75 Upper Y Subscript d bullet Investment: I = 90 bullet Government spending: G = 56 bullet Net taxes: Upper T equals 0.2 Upper Y minus 25 bullet Disposable income: Upper Y Subscript d Baseline equals Upper Y minus Upper T bullet Equilibrium: Y = C + I + G
What is equilibrium income?
C=60+0.75*Yd....Consumption Function
I=90...Investment Function
G=56....Government Expenditure
T=0.2*Y-25...Taxes and transfers
Yd=Y-T=Y-0.25*Y+25...Disposable Income
Y=C+I+G
=60+0.75((0..75*Y+25)+90+56
Y=60+0.5625*Y-18.75+146
0.4375*Y=187.25
Y=428...Equilibrium INcome

6a. Assume a closed economy with no government, in which the aggregate consumption function is C = 100 + .75Y and investment (I) is $100 billion. In the income-expenditure analysis, the equilibrium level of national income is: a. $300 billion. b. $500 billion. c. $200 billion. d. $800 billion. e. $650 billion. 6b. The difference between a household’s disposable income and its consumption: a. equals any saving by the household. b. equals the taxes the household pays. c. equals the...
Consider a small country that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. The following equations describe the economy of this country in billions of dollars, where C is consumption, DI is disposable income, I is investment, and G is government purchases:C=100+0.75×DI G= 50 I=80 Initially, this economy had a lump sum tax. Suppose net taxes were $40 billion, so that disposable income was equal to Y – 40, where Y is real GDP. In this...
Consider the following information for a country:Consumption Function: C=100+0.5YdInvestment Function: I=100Government Spending: G=150Net Taxes: T = -40 + 0.25YDisposable Income: Yd=Y-TEquilibrium: Y=C+I+GThe level of equilibrium income, Y,=$ _______ (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
5. Algebra of the income-expenditure model Consider a small economy that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. Suppose that the economy has the following consumption function, where C is consumption, Y is real GDP, I is investment, G is government purchases, and T is for net taxes: C= 20 + 0.75 x (Y - T) Suppose G = $35 billion, 1 = $60 billion, and T = $20 billion. Given the consumption function and the fact that, in...
1.Consider a closed economy with no taxes, whose consumption function, investment level & government spending level are given by the following equations: C= 5,000 + .80Y I= 9,000 G= 2000 whereGrepresents government spending. The equilibrium condition is, as always, that the value of the economy’s output (Y) must be matched by aggregate demand, but now aggregate demand contains a third element, G. a. What is the equilibrium level of aggregate output for this economy? b. What is the saving function for this...
19. Consider a closed economy where the consumption function is C = 100+ 0.8(Y – T), where T represents lump sum taxes. Investment is fixed at 100, and government spending is also 100. a. Assuming that the budget is balanced, calculate the equilibrium income for this economy. b. Suppose the government is committed to a balanced budget, but it sees that the economy is overheating (growing too fast). It decides to lower both government spending and taxes by 50 each....
Imagine the economy is defined by the consumption function of C = 140 + 0.9 (Yd) where 140 is autonomous consumption, 0.9 is marginal propensity to consume, and Yd is disposable income (after taxes) and Yd=Y-T, where Y is national income (or GDP) and T=Tax Revenues=0.3Y (0.3 is the avg. income tax rate). To find the macro equilibrium use the following equation Y = C + I + G + (X - M). Where C=140 + 0.9(Yd), I=400, G=800, X=600,...
A5-10. Suppose the following aggregate expenditure model describes an economy: C = 100 + (5/6)Yd T = (1/5)Y 1 = 200 G = 400 X = 300 IM = (1/3)Y where C is consumption, Yd is disposable income, T is taxes, Y is national income, I is investment, G is government spending, X is exports, and IM is imports. (a) Derive a numerical expression for aggregate expenditure (AE) as a function of Y. Calculate the equilibrium level of national income....
Problem 3. The Crowding Out Effect. In a closed economy, the consumption function is C = 80+ 0.8YD – 20r, where Yd is disposable income, taxes Tx = 200 and transfers are Tr = 100. The investment function is I = 550 – 130r. Output is Y = 1000. Here the real interest rate is measured in percentage points (e.g. for r = 5% use 5 and not 0.05). (A) Find net taxes T and government spending G if the...
These equations represent the AE model of Country X and correspond with Question #3 C = 0.75(DI) + 3000 I = 3000 G = 2000 X = 2000 M = 1000 T = 4000 DI = Y – T C = consumption expenditure, DI = disposable income I = autonomous investment G = government expenditure X = exports M = imports T = tax revenues Y = real GDP 3. What is the equilibrium real GDP (Y*) in this economy?...
