Suppose that a new free trade agreement allows the economy to import cheaper goods from overseas, thereby decreasing the general price level. Adjust the following graph by either shifting the consumption function curve or the initial point on the consumption function curve (A) to illustrate the impact of a fall in the price level.
Draw the consumption function for the economy of Macroland C= 60+0.7Y with aggregate Income levels of $100, 200, 300, 400, 500 on the X axis and the corresponding aggregate consumption on the Y axis. Label the graphs and plot all points of income and consumption on the graph.
Consider the hypothetical country of Kejimkujik. Suppose that national income in Kejimkujik is $300 billion, households pay $100 billion in taxes, household consumption is equal to $160 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.6. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot the economy's consumption function.

Assuming that each of the following functions are linear, give an economic interpretation of the slope ofthe function:a. C(Y) is the national consumption when national income is Yb. S(Y) is the total national savings when national income is Y
Consider the Savings-Investment model involving: The Savings function: S = S0+s1Y+s2r; and the Investment function: I = I0+ir; where: Y = GDP, r = interest rate; and equilibrium occurs when Savings equal Investment. (i) Solve for the equilibrium GDP Y* (ii) Using your Y*, find the Investment-Multiplier dY*/dI0
Consumption Function Suppose that a country's consumption function is given by C=(9\sqrt(I)+0.8\sqrt(I^(3))-0.3I)/(\sqrt(I)) where C and I are expressed in billions of dollars. (a) Find the marginal propensity to save when income is $25 billion. (b) Determine the relative rate of change C with respecy to I when income is $25 bilion.
n an effort to make sales projections, M/s K, B and A, the three B-school executives of Vengaboys Inc., were discussing about the national income and its growth in Ibiza. K had estimated a linear consumption function for Ibiza to be C = 100 + 0.6 Y, and investment to be I = 100 per ear. In Ibiza, there was no income tax and government spending was minimal (assume 0). Ibiza was a closed economy, and hence no exports and imports. (i)K immediately knew what the investment Multiplier was. Can you find out? (ii)What is the level of income in Ibiza? (iii)K estimated that with Government spending 100 on a new road to be constructed, the income levels are sure to go up. K quickly calculated the change in income and the new income level to be:
The autonomous consumption expenditures and autonomous investment expenditures in an economy are $600 and $350, respectively. It is also observed that individuals spend 70% of their additional income on consumption. Write down the consumption function for this economy using the information provided above. (Round your response for the intercept term to the nearest whole number and for the slope term to one decimal place.) C . +..Y Write down the aggregate expenditure function for this economy using the information provided above. (Round your response for the intercept term to the nearest whole number and for the slope term to one decimal place.) AE =..+..Y •.. The equilibrium income that would set the actual national income to the desired aggregate expenditure is $. (Round your response to the nearest dollar.) If the actual national income were $1,584 in this economy, then the inventories of the firms would be failing or rising and firms would reduce or increase their output.
In the country of Borealis, the minimum amount of consumption spending that will occur is $300 - that is, no matter what level of income households have, the aggregate amount of consumption spending in the economy will be at least $300. In addition, for every extra dollar of national income, consumption spending will increase by $0.75.
The graph below shows the consumption schedule for Zamunda. Research has yielded the following information about Zamunda: At the current interest rate, gross investment (1) is $500, government purchases (G) are $800, exports are $400, and imports are $200. Instructions: In part a, enter your answer as a whole number. In part c, round your answers to one decimal place. a. By supplementing the consumption schedule in the graph below to include the expenditures for gross investment (1), government purchases (G), and net exports (NX) stated above, what is the new value of the vertical intercept? b. In the graph below, create an aggregate expenditures schedule by including the expenditures for gross investment (I), government purchases (G), and net exports (NX), and indicate the new equilibrium level of real GDP for the complete aggregate expenditures schedule.
