- Consider an economy described by the following equations: C = 300 + 0.90 (Y – T) (Consumption) I = $200 (Investment) G = $300 (Government spending) T = $200 (Taxes) Determine the equilibrium level of national income. Suppose government spending increases to $400. What is the new level of income? What is the government spending multiplier? Suppose taxes increase to $300. What is the new level of income? What is the government tax multiplier? Based on your answers to (b) and (c), does the balanced budget multiplier theorem hold?Consider the hypothetical country of Kejimkujik. Suppose that national income in Kejimkujik is $300 billion, households pay $100 billion in taxes, household consumption is equal to $160 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.6.

What is the tax multiplier? Based on (b) and (c), does the balanced budget multiplier theorem hold? What is the change in national income, if both government spending and taxes increase by $10 each?
- Suppose the MPC = 0.6? What will be the government spending multiplier? If, in this economy, government spending (G) increases by $300, what will happen to Total Spending? Show your workFor the following problem, assume that the MPC, b, takes into account how much consumers spend as total income (Y) in the economy is changes. (Also: Hint GDP = Total Y) So we can rewrite our consumption function as :C= a +bYAssume:a= $2900 billionb=.75GDP= $9,000 billion.A) What is C=B) What is S=C) If consumers were the only ones buying goods in the economy, would the economy have an excess supply of goods, excess demand of goods or would the economy be at equilibrium ?Suppose that autonomous consumption (a) is 200, private investment spending (I) is 340, government spending (G) is 300, Net taxes (T) are 300 and marginal propensity to consume (b) is 80 %, and marginal tax rate (t) is 25 %. By using the above information: a) Find the equilibrium value of national income (you can take the approximate value if necessary b) Find out the effects of an increase in government expenditure by100 c) Just find the new national income equilibrium level when the marginal tax rate is increased to 30 % and the marginal propensity to consume is increasing to 0.9. (you can give the numerical value approximately )

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…
