The graph shows the income-expenditure model for the country of Mireland, where AE represents aggregate expenditure. The Mirsh government wants to cut spending owing to a huge budget deficit and, as such, decides to reduce infrastructure spending by $11 billion. Show the impact of this spending cut given a marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of 0.6 and a total tax take of one-quarter in any changes in GDP. In this example, assume that there is no international trade or inflation, and that interest rates are fixed.

Suppose that autonomous consumption (a) is 300, private investment spending(I) is 420, government spending (G) is 400 , Net taxes (T) are 400 and marginal propensity to consume (b) is 80 %, and marginal tax rate (t) is 25 % . By using the above information which is also given in my graph: Suppose that the potential income level is 2500 in the economy. In this case, what kind of fiscal policy you can use to reach the full employment level. (show this numerically and explain it on the graph i sent Thanks in advance)
The following values represent country A C=$160, S=$40, T=$0, Y=$200 and I=$30, T=0 and G=0 The households consume 80 percent of their income, and save 20 %. MPC = 0.8 and MPS = 0.2. That is, C = 0.8Yd and S = 0.2Yd. a) Is the economy of country A in equilibrium? What is the equilibrium level of income? b) If the full employment level of Y is supposed to be $250, what fiscal policy should the government follow?
Suppose the MPC is 0.60. Assume there are no crowding out or investment accelerator effects. Please answer the following questions with calculation details. (1) If the government increases expenditures by $200 billion, then by how much does aggregate demand shift to the right? (2) If the government decreases taxes by $200 billion, then by how much does aggregate demand shift to the right? (3) Are the above two results the same? Why or why not? Madhavi
Questions A, B, and C are associated with each other. Please answer all three. Thank you!
For the last time, consider the economy described above. You won't work directly with its numbers in this question, but I'm repeating them in case it's helpful: Government purchases $1000 Transfer payments $0 (none in this economy) Net taxes = $1500 Output (income) = $8000 Consumption = $3500 Let's say the MPC 0.8 and the government gives a tax cut of $50. As a result, private savings will [ Select ) . public savings will I Select V and this [ Select) Va good idea to stimulate economic investment.
Data is provided below for a small closed economy. Output/Income = 10,000 Consumption = 600 + 0.75(Y - T) Investment = 400 Taxes = 2,000 Government expenditure = 2,000 Assuming that fiscal policy has a multiplier effect and that investment and taxes remain unchanged, what will happen to output if government expenditure decreased by 500? Select one: It would increase by 500 It would decrease by 667 It would decrease by 500 It would increase by 2,000 It would decrease by 2,000 It would increase by 667
Assume that in a given country, tax revenues, T, depend on income, I, according to the formula T= - 4,000 + 0.21 Thus, for example, when a household has an income of $50,000, its tax burden is -4,000+ 0.2 x 50,000, or $6,000. Is this a progressive tax schedule? [Hint: Compute average tax rates at several different levels of income.] Now let's generalize the tax schedule in this problem to: T= a + ti where a and t are numbers. (For example, in the tax schedule above, a =-4,000 and t = 0.2.) Write down a formula for the average tax rate as a function of the level of income. Show that the tax system is progressive if a is negative, and regressive if a is positive. (Hint: The average tax rate is TIL.]
in the aggregate expenditure model for a closed economy assuming investment, government spending and taxes are exogenous, if the marginal prosperity to consume is 0.8, a simultaneous 50 unit increase in government spending and a 20 unit decrease in investment will change equilibrium income by?
The Image attached titled Table 1 is data for a hypothetical private-closed economy. Use the information in the Table 1 to analyze aggregate expenditures (AE) model attached (Figure 1. Equilibrium in a Private Closed Economy). Question 1 Identify the mistake and explain why the graph of the aggregate expenditures line does not correctly illustrate the economy's equilibrium. Question 2 Chart the aggregate expenditures (AE) model in Excel using the data from Table 1: A Private Closed Economy. Remember, the 45degree line (also known as the Keynesian Cross) is a tool that shows how differences in aggregate expenditures and real GDP can affect business inventories which will affect future levels of real GDP. Aggregate expenditure and GDP are both function of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. So, the equations for the two are identical: Y = C + I + G + NX, and AE (aggregate expenditure) = C + I + G + NX For private closed economy the equation…
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.

You know that disposable income is $18 trillion in 2020. Consumption is $13.5 trillion, investment is $4 trillion, and the government budget deficit (G-T) is $2 trillion. Calculate the size of the trade balance (in $ trillion). Note: A surplus is a positive number, a deficit is a negative number. Start with the national income identity and add taxes such that you have expressions for disposable income (Y-T) and the government budget deficit.
