![### Aggregate Expenditures Model: Closed Economy
**Overview:**
The diagram presented is an aggregate expenditures model, illustrating the relationship between consumption, investment spending, government spending, and real GDP within a closed economy. This model is designed to showcase the effect of a $500 increase in government spending.
**Instructions:**
Click and drag on the expenditure line to adjust it to the correct position reflective of the $500 addition in government spending.
**Graph Explanation:**
#### Diagram Details:
- **Title:** A Closed Economy
- **Y-Axis:** Aggregate Expenditures (billions)
- Scale: Ranges from 10,000 to 18,000 billion dollars.
- **X-Axis:** Real GDP (billions)
- Scale: Ranges from 10,000 to 16,000 billion dollars.
- Labeled points for Real GDP include 13,080 and 13,500.
- **Lines:**
- **45° Line:** The gray line represents the point where aggregate expenditures equal real GDP.
- **Initial Expenditure Line (C + I_g + G):** The blue line represents the initial expenditure level.
- **Intersection Point:**
- The initial equilibrium point (A) is located where the blue line intersects the 45° line near a Real GDP of 13,000 billion dollars and aggregate expenditures of about 13,200 billion dollars.
**Interactive Element:**
- Click and drag the blue expenditure line to reflect the $500 increase in government spending.
**Instruction Follow-up:**
Looking at your adjusted graph, determine whether the equilibrium GDP has increased, decreased, or stayed the same given the size of the government purchases that you selected.
Equilibrium GDP has ________ by $________.
---
By following these instructions and understanding the graph's components, users can visually grasp the impact of government spending on aggregate expenditures and the resulting changes in equilibrium GDP within a closed economy.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F926090c8-f7f7-4b72-833b-71d74add87de%2F790404fb-a2e3-42ad-af27-255e4d3c93a6%2Fw46nj6_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
