Transcribed Image Text:Suppose that we are in an economy with international trade, the government, domestic
consumption, and investment. The government retains a tax rate of 10%. -
Suppose that we observe this economy at two levels of national income (Y) ceteris paribus: (i) Y
= 1,000 and (ii) Y = 1,800. The amounts for each of these desired expenditure categories at each
of these levels of Y are given by:
At Y = 1,000: +
Consumption = 1,000 -
Government Spending = 550
%3D
Investment = 150
%3D
Imports = 100 t
Exports = 150
At Y = 1,800: 4
Consumption = 1,560 -
Government Spending = 550
Investment = 270 e
%3D
Imports = 180
Exports = 150
Based upon this data, answer the following questions. We will keep referring to four categories
- these are Consumption (C), Investment (1), Government Spending (G), and Net Exports (NX). «
| 1. Plot both of the Desired Consumption and Desired Savings Functions, with Y on the x-axis
and C & S on the y-axis. Label both functions' y-intercepts, and the x-intercept for the
savings function. e
