In the country of Arcadia, the mìnimum amount of consumption spending that will occur in a
given year is $50- that is, no matter what level of income households have, the aggregate
amount of consumption spending in the economy will be at least $50. In addition, for every extra
dollar of national income, consumption spending will increase by $0.75. (Note: For the entirety
of this problem, assume that Taxes = transfers = 0, and the aggregate price level in Arcadia is
fixed.)

In 2019 in Arcadia, planned investment expenditure was $150, there was no government
spending or taxation or government transfers and no exports or imports.
f. Suppose that planned investment increased to $250. Write out the new planned Aggregate
Expenditure function.
c. Write out the planned Aggregate Expenditure function for Arcadia.
g. What is the value of the multiplier in Arcadia? (Note: you are being asked to provide a
numerical answer)
AE= 200 + 0.75
d If real GDP (i.e. value of all production in the Arcadian economy) in 2019 were $600,
what would be the level of planned Aggregate Expenditure? Would production be exactly
equal to expenditure, or would suppliers have to reduce or increase inventories? If you've
answered that suppliers would have to reduce or increase inventories, specify the amount
of the change and be sure to indicate whether it is an increase or a decrease.
h. What is the new income-expenditure equilibrium real GDP? (Noté: in addition to
providing a numerical answer, you must show your work. You may use either a table or
algebra to arrive at your answer. If you want to use a table, you may use Table 1 below. If
you use the table, you do not need to fill in all of the blank cells. You may just fill in
Planned Expenditure: AE= $650
Therefore, the aggregate expenditure is not equal to the production , as the
production is only $600. So, there is need to increase inventories of $50
enough cells to help you arrive at your answer.) ĮTYPE YOUR ANSWER BELOW (AND FILL

e. What was the income-expenditure equilibrium level of real GDP in Arcadia in 2019?
Support your answer by filling in all of the blank cells in the table below. (Note: you
need to provide a numerical answer for the income-expenditure equilibrium level of
GDP in Arcadia in 2019 AND fill in the table below)
