For the next three questions, consider a closed economy with the following information: Economic investment = $6000 Private savings = $4100 Output (income) = $20,000 Consumption = $11,000 This economy has no transfer payments; in other words, total taxes and "net taxes" are the same thing. calculate this economy's government purchases (G). calculate this economy's public savings. calculate this economy's taxes (T). Note that there are no transfer payments.

Economists often argue that a large increase in government purchases – such as for the military – will crowd out private-sector spending. Use the investment-saving diagram to defend or to refute their premise.
In a closed economy, GDP is $1000, government purchases are $200, and consumption is $700. If the government has a budget surplus of $25, what are investment, taxes, private saving, and national saving? Explain with equations.
If consumption expenditures are $1800 million, gross investment is $450 million, imports are $350 million, exports are $180 million, government expenditure on goods and services is $120 million, and government transfer payments are $180 million and net taxes are $250 million; a) Calculate the GDP. b) Is there budget deficit or surplus? Calculate. c) How much is the private (household) saving? d) How much is the disposable income? e) Calculate the national savings.
One last time, please consider a closed economy with the following information: • Economic investment = $4500 • Private savings = $3000 Output (income) = $16,000 Consumption = $11,000 This economy has no transfer payments; in other words, total taxes and "net taxes" are the same thing. Carefully following all numeric instructions, calculate this economy's taxes (T). Note that there are no transfer payments.
For the last time, consider the economy described above. You won't work directly with its numbers in this question, but I'm repeating them in case it's helpful: Government purchases $1000 Transfer payments $0 (none in this economy) Net taxes = $1500 Output (income) = $8000 Consumption = $3500 Let's say the MPC 0.8 and the government gives a tax cut of $50. As a result, private savings will [ Select ) . public savings will I Select V and this [ Select) Va good idea to stimulate economic investment.
Refer to the graph for a private closed economy. At the $150-billion level of GDP: Select one: a. Aggregate expenditures are less than real GDP, so GDP will rise b. Aggregate expenditures are more than real GDP, so GDP will fall c. Aggregate expenditures are more than real GDP, so GDP will rise d. Aggregate expenditures will be equal to GDP, so there will be no change in GDP

V1 Consider the following information for a country: Consumption function: C = 85+0.8Yd Investment function: l = 85 Government spending: G=60 Net taxes: T = -40+0.25Y Disposable Income: Yd = Y - T Equilibrium: Y = C + l + G The level of equilibrium income, Y, = $_____(Enter response rounded two decimal places) The government collects net taxes of $_____ Remember the budget surplus is equal to taxes minus government spending, The governments budget surplus is $____
3. In a economy, consumption is 40, public sector spending is 22, investment is 15, net exports are -3. The treasury is running a $6 budget deficit. Which fraction of their disposable income are households saving? Enter your answer in decimals, not percents. 3a .What was the private saving equal to? 3b. How much of the savings was spend to finance the public sector? 3c. What was the external saving, that is, how much did the people's claims on foreign assets grow?
Depict graphically the aggregate expenditures model for a private closed economy. Now show a decrease in the aggregate expenditures schedule and explain why the decline in real GDP in your diagram is greater than the initial decline in aggregate expenditures. What would be the ratio of a decline in real GDP to the initial drop in aggregate expenditures if the slope of your aggregate expenditures schedule was .8?
C = 450 + 0.4YI = 350G = 150X = 70Z = 35 + 0.1YT = 0.15YYf = 1550(Hint: use the multiplier method)Q.2.4 Calculate the tax revenue to the government of this country when the economyremains in equilibrium.Q.2.5 Calculate what the new equilibrium income should be if the government of thiscountry decides to cancel all taxes, implying the tax rate would now be 0%.Q.2.6 Before the government decreased the tax rate, how much of governmentspending was required to bring the economy to full employment?
Explain graphically the determination of equilibrium GDP for a private economy through the aggregate expenditures model. Now add government purchases (any amount you choose) to your graph, showing its impact on equilibrium GDP. Finally, add taxation (any amount of lump-sum tax that you choose) to your graph and show its effect on equilibrium GDP. Looking at your graph, determine whether equilibrium GDP has increased, decreased, or stayed the same given the sizes of the government purchases and taxes that you selected.
