Number:
1) Equilibrium output in a closed economy is 1200, consumption is 600, and investment is 160.
Calculate:
a) Government spending (G)(10pts)
Y=C+I+G
1200=600+160+G
G=1200-600-160 = 440
b) If investment increases by 60. The marginal propensity to consume out of national income is 0.5.what is the new equilibrium level of Y,C,I, and G(10pts)
Y*= I = 60 New Y*=Y0+ Y
1-mpc 1-0.5 New Y*=1200+120 = 1320
Y* = 120 New C = mpc (newY*) = 0.5(1320) = 660
New I= I0+ I = 160+60 = 220
New G = G0 = 440
c) If potential output is 1500, to what extent must G rise to make output equal to potential output?(10pts)
Actual output=1320
Potential output =1500
To make Actual = potential means Actual output will increase by 1500-1320=180
Y*= G
1-mpc
180 = G
1-0.5
G =180(0.5) =90
2) a) Aggregate demand in an economy trading internationally with a government sector can be written as AD=C+I+G+NX (5pts)
b) Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6, the marginal tax rate is 0.5 and the marginal propensity to import is 0.8.What is the size of the multiplier (5pts)
Multiplier = 1 = 1 =0.666
1-c(1-t)+mpz 1-0.6(1-0.5)+0.8
3) Fill in the table below(20pts)
