Do not type in dollar signs or round any of your answers. Assume that GDP (Y) is 2000, which is also the full employment level of real GDP. Consumption (C) is given by C = 260 + 0.8(Y – T). Investment (1) is given by the %3D equation I = 400 – 50r, where r is the rate of interest in percent. Taxes (T) are 200 and government spending (G) is 200. Assume this economy produces at full employment and national savings is the only source for investment spending (closed economy). Use the data above to calculate: Consumption = Investment = ,and the %3D equilibrium rate of interest (r) = percent. Next, suppose government implements a tax cut, reducing taxes from 200 to 160, while keeping government spending at 200. Calculate new values resulting from the tax cut: The tax cut caused the equilibrium interest rate to change to percent. The change in the interest rate caused investment spending to change to leading to crowding out.

Suppose that y =100 (income today) • y' = 150 (income tomorrow) 10% (interest rate on bonds) %3D r = • t = 10 (taxes today) • t' = 10 (taxes tomorrow) Suppose that c = 100. Is the consumer borrowing or saving, today? And what will her budget constraint look tomorrow? The consumer is borrowing. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 -10 - 10*(1.1) = 129 The consumer is saving. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 -10 + 10*(1.1) = 151 O The consumer is neither borrowing nor saving - she is breaking even. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 -10 = 140 O The consumer is saving. Her budget constraint tomorrow will be c' = 150 + 10*(1.1) = 161 %D
(b) Consider a classical economy. Assume that the GDP of an economy is 9000. Consumption is given by the equation C = 600+(3/4)YD-40r, where r is the percentage real rate of interest. Investment is given by the equation / = 1200- 120r. Net exports is given by NX 1500-200€. There is a budget deficit of 500 and government spending is 1500. Finally, suppose the world interest rate is 5. 1 1 (i) For this open economy derive all equilibrium values, all savings values, and also describe whether the current and capital accounts are in deficit or surplus.
Look at the photo for prompt. In order of effectiveness (net effect change in rGDP)), order these actions; base your reasoning on actual numbers. Show your calculations.
Suppose real GDP is $5,042 billion, taxes collected by the government are $534 billion, government spending is $846 billion, and consumption spending is $3,461 billion. What is the value of public saving? Enter a whole number with no dollar sign and please do not include the word billion. If appropriate, please enter a negative (-) sign.
QUESTION 8 As a result of entering the world economy, Neverland experiences economic boom and its GDP goes up to y- 13250: The function that describes consumption is the same, cd(r) = 5000 – 1000r +0.25Y, but the investment curve shifted to the right: 1d(r) = 550 – 1800r + 0.2Y: This is because firms expect growth to continue in the future and want to invest more. Government spending is also the same: G- 180o0. The world interest rate is 5%. What is Neverland's current account balance? Note: Type in your answer approximated to two decimal points, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999". In case the last digit in the correct answer is zero, e.g., "999.90" or "999.00", Blackboard will automatically delete it and you should not do anything about it.
Assume that the production function for a country is given by Y=√K and annual investment is given by the function I=γ×YI where γ=0.280, and that the yearly depreciation rate is 4.67%. Suppose that this year, the output in the country is 1, and a neighbor country's output is 50% higher. Calculate the time it would take for the country's output to catch up with its neighbor's output. Assume the neighbor country's economy is neither growing nor shrinking.
Please answer the following question. Thanks! Consider a classical economy described as follows: ? = ?^(1/2)?^(1/2) , where L is the amount of labor and K is the amount of capital. The economy has 10,000 units of labor and 10,000 units of capital. Consumption (C): 5,020-100r, Investment (I) : 2,000-100r, Taxes (T): 2,500, Government Purchases (G) :3,000

Assume an economy with 1000 consumers. Each consumer has income in the current period of 50 units and future income of 60 units, and pays a lump-sum tax of 10 in the current period and 20 in the future period. The market real interest rate is 8%. Of the 1000 consumers, 500 consume 60 units in the future, while 500 consume 20 units in the future. a) Determine each consumer's current consumption and current saving. b) Determine aggregate private saving, aggregate consumption in each period, government spending in the current and future periods, the current-period government deficit, of the quantity of debt issued by the government in the current period. c) Suppose that current taxes increase to 15 for each consumer. Repeat parts (a) and (b) and explain your results.
Consider the following functions for consumption and investment: C = 1,000 + (2/3)*(Y – T) and I = 1,200 – 100*r. Furthermore, Y = 8,000, G = 2500, T = 2,000. Compute private, public, and national savings for this economy, and find the equilibrium real interest rate (r). Assume that G declines by 500 units. How will it change your answers in part (a)? What happens to the national savings, given everything else, if the public decides to consume less out of their disposable income (assume that the propensity of consume falls by 10 percent)? Given your answer in part (c), what happens to investment and real interest rate? Answer all four.
