Consider an economy where the natural rate of unemployment rate is 5% and real GDP at full employment is $3.50 billion. Consumers' spending behavior is described by the equation: C = 150+ 0.75DI, while firms investment behavior is described by the equation 1 = 300+ 0.2Y - 750r. Trade is allowed and currently imports are defined by the equation IM = 250+ 0.2Y. In 2016, exports is fixed at $300 million and government spending is fixed at $800 million. Furthermore, in the same year, tax rate is 20% and the interest rate is 8%. (Question 2 of 15) What is the trade balance (in millions of dollars) in 2016? (report your answer to 2 decimal places)

Consider the following equations that describe an open economy with government, where government transfers equal $0. C = 320 + 0.6YD I = 936 Budget Balance 0.2Y - 534 NX = 712-0.08Y Part a: Determine the equilibrium level of GDP. Part b: Suppose potential GDP is 4,000 (Y*). Determine the value of G2 if the goal is to stabilize the economy by restoring equilibrium GDP to its potential level. Verify that you have the correct value for G2 by solving for the equilibrium GDP. Part c: How has the magnitude of the multiplier and the AE curve changed because of the changes to government spending? Use 2 to 3 sentences to provide an explanation that supports your answer. Part d: Government spending returns to Gị and the government wants to achieve potential GDP by altering the tax rate (t). Determine the value of t2 that will restore Y = Y*. Verify that you have the correct value for t2 by solving for the equilibrium GDP. Part e: How has the magnitude of the multiplier and the AE curve changed…
Consider an economy located near the Indian Ocean where the main industries are agriculture and tourism. Policymakers and economic advisors have determined that consumers' spending behavior is described by the equation: C = 255 + 0.75DI while the domestic investment spending behavior by firms is fixed at $250 billion. Currently, the population is 250 million, the labor force participation rate is 68 percent, and the unemployment rate is 4 percent. The policymakers and economic advisors have also determined that the short run aggregate supply of goods and services in the economy is described by the equation Y = Ypot + 75(P - Pe), while the potential level of real GDP is $2075 billion and the expected price level at full employment, Pe, is 115. Net taxes is described by the equation: T = 120 + 0.2Y while the government spending is fixed at $500 billion. Trading occurs mostly with neighboring economies and currently total imports is $300 billion while total exports is $200 billion.…

Consider an open economy with a current population of 0.55 million people, and where the potential GDP is $ 3.24 billion. Consumer expenditure is represented by the following equation: C = 60+ 0.75DI. Exports are constant at $500 million, and investors want to spend $ 400 million at every level of income. The government purchases are $300 million, imports are constant at $ 450 million, and taxes are $200 million. - What is the current equilibrium level of real GDP? (report your answer at 2 decimal places and in millions of dollars)
Consider two economies, A and B. Economy A has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.9, a net tax rate of 0.2 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.2. Economy B has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.7, a net tax rate of 0.2 and a marginal propensity to import of 0.2. Suppose there is an increase in autonomous investment of $5 billion in each of these economies. Which of the following statements is true? Select one: O A. The AD curve shifts farther to the right in Economy A than Economy B. O B. The AD curve shifts to the left the same amount in both economies. O C. The simple multiplier is larger in Economy A. O D. The AD curve shifts to the right the same amount in both economies. O E. The AD curve shifts farther to the left in Economy B than Economy A.
Problem 1. The following equations characterize country's economy. Assume that the economy is a closed economy. Production function: Y = A·K'N – 3·N²/2. where A = 5 and K = 21. Labor supply: N$ = 5 + 3w. Desired Consumption: Cd = 56 +0.75Y – 100r Desired Investment: Iª = 130 – 900r Government Spending: G = 300 (a) Find the equilibrium levels of the real wage, employment and output (you may want to go back and read your notes on labor market). (b) Find the equilibrium level of the real interest rate, consumption, investment and national saving. (c) Illustrate your answers to parts (a)and (b) with appropriate graphs. (d) Suppose that due to a wave of immigration, labor supply increases. The new labor supply curve is given by Labor supply: N$ = 25 + 3w. Find the new equilibrium values of the real wage, employment, output, the real interest rate, investment, saving and consumption. Illustrate these new answers in the graphs that you drew for part (c).

What is the effect of the following on U.S. net exports? a) an increase in GDP in Japan b) an increase in the price of Japanese-made cars with no change in the price of U.S cars. c) An increase in the value of the U.S dollar relative to the Japanese yen.
Using the domestic goods demand and net exports graphs, illustrate graphically and explain the effects of a decrease in taxes on output, exports, imports, and net exports. Label all the curves, the initial and new equilibrium points.
Please no written by hand and no emage Consider a small economy that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. Suppose that the economy has the following consumption function, where C is consumption, Y is real GDP, I is investment, G is government purchases, and T stands for net taxes: C=40+0.5*(Y-T) Suppose G= 165 billion, I=50 billion, and T=10 billion. Given the consumption function and the fact that for a closed economy total expenditure can be calculated as Y=C+I+GY=C+I+G, the equilibrium output level is equal to _____ billion. Suppose the government purchases are increased by $100 billion. The new equilibrium level of output will be equal to _____ billion. Based on the effect of the change in government purchases on equilibrium output, you can tell that this economy's spending multiplier is equal to _____.
