Q. 1: Consider an economy described as follows:Y = C + I + GY= 8000G = 2500T = 2000C = 1000 + 2/3 (Y – T)I = 1200 – 100ra. Compute public savings, private savings and national savings for this economy.b. Find the equilibrium interest rate.c. Now, suppose that T increased by 500, compute public savings, private savings and national savings for this economy.d. What happens to new equilibrium interest rate.
Suppose that every additional 3 percentage points in the investment rate boosts GDP growth by 1 percentage point. Assume also that all investment must be financed with consumer saving. Note: Investment rate = Investment/GDP The economy is currently characterized by $12 trillion $2 trillion Consumption: Saving (= Investment): GDP: $14 trillion If the goal is to raise the growth rate by 2 percentage points, a. by how much must investment increase? billion b. by how much must consumption decline? : billion
Assume that total expenditure E comprises the sum of government consumption, G, household consumption, C, and investment, I. Assume a closed macroeconomic system, so that income equals expenditure Y=E. If we define household saving, SH, as SH=Y-T-C, where the cunsumption function is a fixed proportion of disposable income, C=c(Y-T), which of the following will be true? a. Higher government spending alongside unchanged taxation will lead to higher investment and higher household saving b. Higher government spending alongside unchanged taxation will have no effect on household saving or investment c. Higher government spending alongside unchanged taxation will lead to higher household saving d. Higher government spending alongside unchanged taxation will lead to lower household saving
Suppose the economy is closed and consumption of $10,000, taxes are $2000 and government purchases are $3,000 and national saving is $1,500. (Given GDP=$14500, Public saving= -$1000, Private saving=$2500, Investment=$1500). So In the era of covid-19 pandemic, the producers were pessimistic about the returns of capital and reduced their investments. Use a well-labelled diagram of loanable funds market to illustrate and explain the impacts on the equilibrium interest rate and quantity of loanable funds.
Economists often argue that a large increase in government purchases – such as for the military – will crowd out private-sector spending. Use the investment-saving diagram to defend or to refute their premise.
Suppose that every additional 3 percentage points in the investment rate boosts GDP growth by 1 percentage point. Assume also that all investment must be financed with consumer saving. Note: Investment rate = Investment/GDP The economy is currently characterized by Consumption: $11 trillion Saving (= Investment): $3 trillion GDP: $14 trillion If the goal is to raise the growth rate by 2 percentage points, a. by how much must investment increase? billion b. by how much must consumption decline? billion
In each part that follows, use the economic data given to find national saving, private saving, public saving, and the national saving rate. a. Household saving = 200 Business saving = 400 Government purchases of goods and services = 120 Government transfers and interest payments = 100 Tax collections = 175 GDP = 2,300 Instructions: Enter your response for the national saving rate rounded to one decimal place. If you are entering any negative numbers, be sure to include a () In front of those numbers. National saving Private saving Public saving National saving rate GOO b. GDP = 6,050 Tax collections = 1,225 Government transfers and interest payments - 400 Consumption expenditures 4,500 Government budget surplus 100 Instructions: Enter your response for the national saving rate rounded to one decimal place, If you are entering any negative numbers, be sure to include a () in front of those numbers. National saving Private saving Public savingNational saving rate 100 c Consumption…
Assume the following information for an imaginary, closed economy. GDP = $120,000; consumption = $70,000; private saving = $9,00%3; national saving = $12,000. (Please write the calculation details) %3D %3D %3D (1) For this economy, what does investment amount to (2) For this economy, what do government purchases amount to? (3) For this economy, what do taxes amount to? (4) Is this economy's government budget surplus or budget defcit? How much it is?
To find aggregate planned expenditures, which of the following must be added to consumption expenditure? i. net exports ii. investment iii. government expenditure on goods and services i only ii only iii only i and ii i, ii, and iii In the figure above, the shift in the supply of loanable funds curve from SLF1 to SLF3 could be the result of an increase in the real interest rate. an increase in expected future income. a decrease in expected future income. an increase in expected rate of profit. a decrease in the real interest rate.
Explain how China’s real GDP can grow at a 6.9 percent rate when consumption and investment grew faster than 6.9 percent.
Suppose the following equations represents a closed economy: Y= C + I + G Y = 4000 G = 500 T = 500 C = 500 + 0.7 (Y – T) I = 1000 – 40r In this economy, compute the value of consumption (C), private saving, public saving, and national saving. Also, find the equilibrium interest rate (r). Now suppose that government spending (G) rises (expansionary fiscal policy) to 300. Compute private saving, public saving, and national saving. Also, find the new equilibrium interest rate (r). In part (b), due to expansionary fiscal policy (increase in government spending), which of the two other components of aggregate demand changes, C or I? Why? (Hint: Note the real interest rate)
Suppose that GDP is $8 billion, taxes are $1.5 billion, private saving is $0.5 billion, andpublic saving is 0.2 billion. Assuming the economy is closed, calculate the size of:Consumption and Investment
