4. Planned expenditure and income The following table shows consumption (C), investment spending (I), and government purchases (G), in a hypothetical economy for various levels of income. Also assume that there is an income tax rate of 25%, that base consumption is $100 billion, and that the MPC is 0.333, or 1/3. This economy is closed, with no international trade, therefore net exports are equal to zero and should not be considered. Use the given information to fill in disposable income, consumption, and planned expenditures in the following table. Income: Real Disposable (After Tax) Planned GDP Income C I, G Expenditures (Billions of (Billions of dollars) (Billions of (Billions of (Billions of (Billions of dollars) dollars) dollars) dollars) dollars) 100 50 150 100 50 150 200 50 150 300 50 150 400 50 150 500 50 150
