8. The income-expenditure model 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 = 15+0.75 x (Y-T) Suppose G = $90 billion, 1 = $60 billion, and T = $20 billion. Given the consumption function and the fact that for a closed economy total expenditure can be calculated as Y=C+I+G, the equilibrium output level is equal to 5 billion. Suppose the government purchases are increased by $50 billion. The new equilibrium level of output will be equal to 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

ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume that the consumption schedule for a private closed economy is such that consumption is: C = 100 + 0.75Y Assume further that planned investment Ig is independent of the level of real GDP and constant at Ig = 50. Recall also that, in equilibrium, the real output produced (Y) is equal to aggregate expenditures: Y = C + Ig Instructions: Enter your answers as whole numbers.a. Calculate the equilibrium level of income or real GDP for this economy. Equilibrium GDP (Y) = $ . b. What happens to equilibrium GDP if Ig changes to 60? Equilibrium GDP (Y) = $ . What does this outcome reveal about the size of the spending multiplier? Spending multiplier = .
