Suppose that the government of Uplandia is experiencing a large budget deficit with fixed government expenditures of G=375 and fixed taxes of T= 225. Assume that consumers of Uplandia behave as described in the following consumption function C = 450 + 0.96 (Y - T). Suppose further that investment spending is fixed at 300. a. Calculate the equilibrium level of GDP in Uplandia. Solve for equilibrium levels of Y, C, and S. b. Next, assume that the National Congress in Uplandia succeeds in reducing taxes by 89 to a new fixed level of 136. Recalculate the equilibrium level of GDP using the tax multiplier c. Solve for equilibrium levels of Y, C, and S after the tax cut and check to ensure that the multiplier worked.
