Suppose that the government of Ansonia is experiencing a large budget surplus with fixed government expenditures of G = 250 and fixed taxes of T = 200. Both G and T are independent of income. Assume that consumers of Ansonia behave as described in the following consumption function. C=300+0.90(Y-T) Suppose further that investment spending is fixed at 1 = 200. Calculate the equilibrium level of GDP in Ansonia. Solve for equilibrium levels of Y, C, and S. Y= 5700. (Round your response to two decimal places.) C=5250. (Round your response to two decimal places.) S=250. (Round your response to two decimal places.) Now, assume that the Republican Congress in Ansonia succeeds in reducing taxes by 20 to a new fixed level of 180. Determine the value of the tax multiplier. Tax multiplier = (Round your response to two decimal places and include a minus sign if necessary.)
