G Spending and NTR Budget Deficit Budget Surplus Y1 V1 . I I Y2 V2 je I I Y3 I V3 G NTR Real GDP BL Real GDP In the following graph, NTR is net tax revenue, G is government spending on goods and services, BL is budget line. Which of the following is true? A balanced budget would occur at income level Y1 A balanced budget would occur at income level Y2 A balanced budget could occur at income levels Y1, Y2 or Y3 The existence of a balanced budget cannot be determined because no inflation on tex revenues is given
Suppose the government, in an effort to avoid an increase in the deficit, votes for a budget neutral tax cut policy. Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is equal to 0.75 and taxes are cut by $15 billion. Round answers to the nearest billion, and specify decreases as a negative number. By how much will government spending change? change in government spending: $ What is the resulting change in the equilibrium level of real GDP? change in equilibrium level of real GDP: $ billion billion
There is a tax-cut that increases your Disposable Income by $3,400, which you intend to save $510. a. Calculate the MPC. b. Interpret this MPC. (What does it mean? Define MPC and describe in this context.)c. What is the resulting fiscal multiplier? d. Interpret the multiplier and describe the multiplier effect. e. Find the total change to the economy from this tax change.
2. Assume a given economy has an equilibrium GDP of $360 billion. A. If government spending and taxes both increase by $40 billion, determine the new equilibrium GDP. B. If both G and taxes increase by $40 billion, what impact will these two changes happening at the same time have on the budget? In other words, will these two changes cause a surplus, a deficit, or a balanced budget? C. Solve for the numerical value of the balanced budget multiplier.

2. Considering the recent pandemic situation, Consumers fear a recession, they start reducing consumption. How can the government counteract (what policy government can consider)? What are the shortcomings of such a policy (fiscal)? Explain one of them. Use a graph to illustrate your arguments.
Suppose that the government wants to conduct expansionary fiscal policy. Show graphically the relative differences in the amount of Investment that is crowded out if the economy is: Closed, Small Open, and Large Open. From this which would we expect to have the largest fiscal multiplier?
The federal government implements an expansionary fiscal policy of increased spending and decreased taxes. Policy advisors predict output will increase 4% but are surprised when only 3% growth occurs. What might account for the fact that GDP increased by less than the multiplier predicted? a. Policy advisors' calculation of MPS was too high b. The aggregate supply curve was perfectly elastic c. Foreign purchases of domestic goods was greater than expected due to a devalued currency d. Consumption increases more than expected because of the decrease in taxes e. Investment decreased due to rising interest rates
The Canadian federal budget moved from a surplus of 9.6billioninthe2007-2008 fiscalyeartoade ficitof5.8 billion the next year, and a large deficit of S55.6 billion in 2009-2010. a. Suppose real GDP was at potential in each of the first two years. What can you conclude about the cause of the change in the budget deficit? Show this change in a diagram of the budget deficit function. b. Suppose from 2008-2009 to 2009-2010, two things happened: real GDP fell and the government implemented an expansionary fiscal policy (both of which were true). Show these two separate events in a diagram of the budget deficit function.
