Only typed answer Explain why the multiplier falls when taxes depend on income. .1 Assume the following for the economy of a country: a. Consumption function: C = 60 + 0.75Yd b. Investment: I = 75 c. Government spending: G = 45 d. Net taxes: T = - 25 + 0.2Y e. Disposable income: Yd. = Y - T f. Equilibrium: Y = C + I + G Solve for equilibrium income. How much does the government collect in net taxes when the economy is in equilibrium? What is the government’s budget deficit or surplus?
