Assume that in 2015, the following prevails in the Republic of Nurd: Government spending (G) = $0 Net taxes (T) = $0 Planned investment (I) = $30 Income (Y) = $200 Assume that households of Nurd consume 80 percent of their income; they save 20 percent of their income. In other words, MPC = 0.80 and MPS = 0.20. Thus, the consumption function and saving function are: C = 0.80Y, and S = 0.20Y, where disposable income Y. = Y-T At the current level income (Y = $200). O A. leakages (S+ T) fall short of injections (I + G) and income will increase in the coming months. O B. leakages (S + T) equal injections (I + G) and income will remain unchanged in the coming months. OC. leakages (S + T) exceed injections (I + G) and income will increase in the coming months. O D. leakages (S + T) exceed injections (I+ G) and income will fall in the coming months.

Find the equilibrium level of GDP (income or V) demanded in an economy in which investment (1) is always $300, net exports (X-IM) are always - 550, government expenditures (G) and taxes (T) are each equal to $400, and the consumption function is described by the following algebraic equation: C = 150 + 0.75Dl DI is disposable income. How much saving (5) is there at the equilibrium level of income. Hint: (1) Dl = Y (national income or GDP) minus taxes (Y-T) (2) Income (Y) not consumed (C) must be saved (S). This means that S = Y-C. (3) to answer this you have to set Y=AE or Y=C+1+G (X-IM), and solve for Y. Then you have to solve for S.
Assume an economy in which:(i) there are no exports and no imports,(ii) investors always want to spend $200 billion, or I = 200,(iii) government spends $500 billion and tax revenue is $200 billion,(iv) consumption is a linear function of disposable income, C=100+0.8Yd At the equilibrium income level (3200) calculate private saving,and explain briefly the relationship between private saving and planned investment?
If autonomous consumption is 400 and the multiplier is 4, the saving function is equal to * S= 400 +4Yd S= -400 + 0.75Yd S= 400 +0.1Yd S= -400+0.25Y. Suppose disposable income increases from $7 trillion to $8 trillion. At the same time, consumption expenditure increases from $6.8 trillion to Thus the MPC must equal $7.8 trillion; 0.60 $7.6 trillion; 0.80 $7.4 trillion; 0.40 $8 trillion; 1.00
Q7.

Suppose that the initial 10 billion increase in the investment spending expands GDP by 10 billion in the first round of multiplier process. If GDP and consumption both rise by 6 billion in the second round of the process, what is the MPC in this economy? What is the size of the multiplier? If instead, GP and consumption both Rose by 8 billion in the second round, what would’ve been the size of the multiplier?
