Assume that, without taxes, the consumption schedule for an economy is as shown in the first two columns of the table below. Suppose that a lump-sum (regressive) tax of $10 billion is imposed at all levels of GDP. a. Calculate the tax rate at each level of GDP and enter the tax, disposable income, consumption, and tax rate in the table. Instructions: For the tax, disposable income, and consumption after tax, enter your answers as whole numbers. For the tax rate, round your answers to 2 decimal places. SEE PICTURE!!! b. Compare the MPC and the multiplier with those of the pretax consumption schedule. Instructions: For the MPC, round your answers to 1 decimal place. For the multiplier, enter your answers as whole numbers. SEE PICTURE!!
