Suppose that a new free trade agreement allows the economy to import cheaper goods from overseas, thereby decreasing the general price level. Adjust the following graph by either shifting the consumption function curve or the initial point on the consumption function curve (A) to illustrate the impact of a fall in the price level.

The Image attached titled Table 1 is data for a hypothetical private-closed economy. Use the information in the Table 1 to analyze aggregate expenditures (AE) model attached (Figure 1. Equilibrium in a Private Closed Economy). Question 1 Identify the mistake and explain why the graph of the aggregate expenditures line does not correctly illustrate the economy's equilibrium. Question 2 Chart the aggregate expenditures (AE) model in Excel using the data from Table 1: A Private Closed Economy. Remember, the 45degree line (also known as the Keynesian Cross) is a tool that shows how differences in aggregate expenditures and real GDP can affect business inventories which will affect future levels of real GDP. Aggregate expenditure and GDP are both function of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. So, the equations for the two are identical: Y = C + I + G + NX, and AE (aggregate expenditure) = C + I + G + NX For private closed economy the equation…

2. Suppose you are economist and have the following data: Consumption; Income; 75 253 85 185 98 212 108 180 118 185 You want to investigate the effect of income on consumption. a)Write and estimate your model b)interpret the results

Income Expenditures 0 100 100 150 200 200 300 250 Refer to the table above to answer the following: (a) At an income level of $200, how much is autonomous expenditures and how much is induced? (b) Given the expenditures function AE = $4,000 + 0.6Y and income of $1,000, how much is spent and how much is induced?
Problem 1 Suppose the system of aggregate expenditures can be described by the following relationships and parameter values. C(Y – T) = 1200 + 0.8 (Y – T) I(r) = 100 – 3r G = 200 ;T = 200; r = 5; Ex = Im = 0 %3D 1. Find the equilibrium value ofY (output/income) in this model. Let this level of production be the economy's potential GDP (Y;).

6) Suppose the economy is closed and is characterized by the following behavioral equations: C=C₁+C₁YD Y₁ = Y-T I=b₁ + b₂Y a. Government spending and taxes are constant. Solve for the equilibrium output. What is the value of the multiplier? How does the relationship between investment and output affect the value of the multiplier as compared to the case when investment was exogenous? For the multiplier to be positive what condition must (c₁ +b₁ ) satisfy? Explain your answers? b. Suppose that the parameter bo, sometimes called business confidence, increases. How will the equilibrium output be affected? Will investment change by more or less than the change in bo? Why? What will happen to national saving?
