6. Aggregate expenditure and income Suppose the following table shows consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), and net exports (NX) in a hypothetical economy for various levels of real GDP. Assume that the price level remains unchanged at all levels of real GDP. Real GDP (Billions of dollars) с 1 G NX (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) (Billions of dollars) 500 250 250 200 -150 600 325 250 200 -150 700 400 250 200 -150 800 475 250 200 -150 900 550 250 200 -150 The following graph shows real GDP on the horizontal axis and aggregate expenditure on the vertical axis. Use the orange line (square symbol) to plot a 45-degree line on this graph. Then use the blue points (circle symbols) to plot the aggregate expenditure line for this economy. Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.

On the previous graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium output at this price level. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.
