Use the following information to answer questions 1, 2, and 3. 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. 1. Calculate the equilibrium level of GDP in Uplandia. Solve for equilibrium levels of Y, C, and S. 2. 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. 3. Solve for equilibrium levels of Y, C, and S after the tax cut and check to ensure that the multiplier worked.

Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.25. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is and the spending multiplier for this economy is Suppose the government in this economy decides to decrease government purchases by $250 billion. The decrease in government purchases will lead to a decrease in income, generating an initial change in consumption equal to This decreases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to . The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD₁) for this economy before the change in government spending. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot the new aggregate demand curve (AD₂) after the spending multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure that the new aggregate demand curve (AD 2) is parallel to the initial aggregate demand curve…
Suppose the government of a particular state has a large surplus, so the state's policymakers want to provide a large one-time tax cut (i.e., a decrease in taxes) sometime soon. In parts a.) - c.), show ( on a different graph for each part), how the tax cut under the given conditions would affect the equilibrium Price Level and GDP in the state (in parts b.) and c.), include any changes caused by the Self-Correcting Mechanism- i.e., assume the tax cut happens first, followed by any changes caused by the Self-Correcting Mechanism). a.) A tax cut when the economy exhibits a Recessionary Gap ( assume that the tax cut gets the economy back to the "Natural Rate of Output". So there will be no changes caused by the Self-Correcting Mechanism in this part) (1) b.) A tax cut when the economy is operating at the "Natural Rate of Output”. (1) c.) A tax cut when the economy exhibits an Inflationary Gap. (1) d.) In which of the 3 cases above does the macroeconomy have the LEAST inflation (just list…
As part of its expansionary fiscal measures, the government of South Africa through its finance minister has increased its budget expenditure to over R2.2 trillion for 2023 fiscal year. Assume all other things remain the same, which of the following is likely to happen in the short run? a) Consumption and investment increase in the short run. b) Consumption does not change, but investment increases less than government spending c) Consumption increases but investment decreases in the short run. d) Output increases by the amount that government spending increases.
Assuming T = 0, for the following three consumption functions, i) identify the mpc and mps, iii) tax multiplier, and ii) calculate the expenditure multiplier: (be sure to give the formulae for the two multipliers) a. C = 100 + 0.75 Y^d. b. C = 50 + 0.9 Y^d . c. C = 200 + 0.8 Y^d
Suppose John experienced an increase in income of $2,500 due to a tax reduction. Assume that people in the economy have a marginal propensity to consume of 75% and a marginal propensity to save of 25%. Use the table below to track the increase in total expenditures due to the tax reduction. Assume all individuals consume their income in accordance with the marginal propensity to consume. Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places. Fiscal Policy and the Multiplier Event John uses his income to purchase additional meals from Erin's restaurant. Erin uses her income to purchase additional books from Rita's book store. Rita uses her income to purchase coffee from William's coffee shop. William uses his income to purchase goods from the farmers' market. Total increase in expenditures due to these transactions Change in Total Expenditures $ $ Change in Saving $
The marginal propensity to consume out of permanent income equals 0.9 and the marginal propensity to consume out of transitory income equals 0.1. Suppose that there is an emergency increase in government spending of $200 billion to repair infrastructure. The spending takes place within a year. The spending increase is financed by a one-time increase in taxes. Prior to the increase in government spending, permanent income equals $9,600 billion and transitory income equals zero. (a) Compute the amounts of consumption expenditures and private saving prior to the tax increase. (b) Compute the amount of changes in consumption expenditures and private saving, given that the tax increase lasts for only one year. (c) Compute the initial change in aggregate demand that results from this combination of increases in government spending and taxes.
The imaginary country of Acordia lists the following projected revenues and outlays for 2020: $30 million in personal income tax, $20 million in corporate income tax, $7 million in indirect taxes, $2 million in investment income, $35 million in transfer payments, $14 million in government expenditures, and $4 million in debt interest. What is the projected budget surplus (or deficit) for 2021? Calculate the amount and indicate whether it is a surplus or deficit.
Suppose the government enacts a stimulus program composed of $500 billion of new government spending and $200 billion of tax cuts for an economy currently producing a GDP of $14,000 billion. If all of the new spending occurs in the current year and the government expenditure multiplier is 1.8, the expenditure portion of the stimulus package will add percentage points of extra growth to the economy. (Round your response to two decimal places.) If the government taxation multiplier is 0.8, the tax cut portion of the stimulus package will add percentage points of extra growth to the economy. (Round your response to two decimal places.) As a result of the stimulus program, the economy's GDP was increased by percentage points over its value without the program. (Round your response to two decimal places.) If the economy's actual growth was 5 percent, then without the stimulus package, growth would have been percentage points. (Round your response to two decimal places and use a minus sign…
