All else equal, an increase in taxes will cause
Group of answer choices
a.) a decrease in National Income.
b) a decrease in the government's budget surplus.
c) An increase in disposable income.
d) all of the above.
Explanation:
We know,
Y= National Income
T=Tax
G= Government Expenditure
Y=a+b(Y-T)+I+G
dY= bdY-bdT
dY(1-b)=-bdT
dY/dT=- b/(1-b) <0
Here, in the above equation b is the Marginal Propensity To Consume(MPC) and 0<b<1.
All else equal, an increase in taxes will cause
a.) a decrease in National Income.
