If the consumption function is given by the equation C = 500 +
0.5Y, the production function is Y = 50K0.5L0.5, where K = 100 and
L = 100, then C equals:
Assume that GDP (Y) is 10,000. Consumption (C) is given by the
equation C = 500 + 0.8(Y – T). Investment (I) is given by the
equation I = 2,000 – 50r, where r is the real rate of interest in
percent. Taxes (T) are 500 and government spending (G) is also 500.
a. What are the equilibrium values of C, I, and r? (Show your work)

saving, and...
The equation for a simple consumption function is written as C =
a + bY. The letter a represents the ________ part of consumption.
The letters bY represent the ________ part of consumption. When
graphing a consumption function, the vertical intercept is given by
the letter ________ , and the slope of the function is given by the
letter ________.
A = C + I + G + X - M C = 500 + 0.5Y – 200i I = 14000 + 0.2Y–
200i G = 1200 - 0.1Y X = 2000 M= 1000 -.05Y Y = A L = 0.33Y – 25i
(M/P) = 3000 L = (M/P)
e. If the government increases spending G by 100:
i. What would the new IS Curve look like?
ii. What would the new LM curve look like?

. A monopolist has a cost function given by c(y) = 0.5y 2 and
faces a demand curve given by P(y) = 120 − y.
What is its profit-maximizing level of output? What price will
the monopolist charge?
• If you put a lump sum tax of $100 on this monopolist, what
would its output be?
• If you wanted to choose a price ceiling for this monopolist so
as to maximize consumer plus producer surplus, what price ceiling
should...
A local microbrewery has total costs of production given by the
equation C(Q) = 500 + 10Q + 5Q2. The market demand for beer is
given by the equation Q = 105 – (1/2)P. The firm operates in a
perfectly competitive market.
a. Write the equations showing the brewery's average total cost
and average variable cost, average fixed cost, and marginal cost,
each as a function of quantity (Q). b. What is the break-even price
and break-even quantity for this...

Use the equation C=a+bY to motivate a discussion of the
Keynesian consumption Function. Graph this function and then show
the effect of at least four variables on aggregate consumption
expenditures. You must provide a complete explanation and diagram
of each case of how each variable influences the level of
consumption.
Suppose that the
consumption function is given by C = 600 + 0.8Y. This implies that
if people’s disposable income increases by $100, the consumption
will rise by $________, and the saving will rise by $________.80; 4080; 20800; 400800; 200
(b) Consider an economy where the consumption function is given
by ? = 500 + 0.8(? − ?). Investment is given by 2000 − 100? (where
? is the real interest rate), government spending is 5000, taxes
are equal to 4000. Exports are 1000, while imports are given by ??
= 0.2?.
(i) Suppose that the real interest rate is ? = 5. Calculate the
equilibrium level of real GDP for this economy. Now suppose that
the Fed decides to...
