16. Suppose that planned investment and planned government purchases do not depend on income:I = 15 and G = 17. Consumption, as you would expect, does depend on income via the consumption function C = 2 + 0.75Y – 0.75T. Net taxes are T = 12.
Your friend thinks that the equilibrium will be where Y = 150 but he is wrong. What is the best description of this situation?
a. the (Y, AE) point is above the 45 degree line, Y will adjust down
b. the (Y, AE) point is above the 45 degree line, Y will adjust up
c. the (Y, AE) point is below the 45 degree line, Y will adjust down
d. the (Y, AE) point is below the 45 degree line, Y will adjust up
17. (continued) Help you friend by calculating the equilibrium income for the AE model in the previous question.

Algebra of the income-expenditure model Consider a small economy that is closed to trade, so its net exports are equal to zero. Suppose that the economy has the following consumption function, where C is consumption, Y is real GDP, / is investment, G is government purchases, and T is for net taxes: C 40+0.5x (Y-T) Suppose G $265 billion, 7- $50 billion, and T $10 billion. Given the consumption function and the fact that, in a closed economy, total expenditure can be calculated as Y = C+I+G, the equilibrium output level is s billion.
