Step 1
Calculation of level of savings when economy is in equilibrium:
Savings = Y – C
Income = C + I + G
Yd = Y -T
Y = 100 +0.8Yd + 200 + 800
Y = 100 + 0.8 (Y-500) + 1000
Y = 1100 + 0.8Y – 400
0.2Y = 700
Y = 3500.
Value of C = 100 + 0.8Yd.
C = 100 + 0.8 (3500 - 500)
C = 2500
Savings = 3500 – 2500 = 1000
Step 2
B. Calculation of government spending multiplier:
Spending multiplier = 5
