The partial data in the table below are for the economy of
Arinaka. Planned investment, government spending, and all taxes are
autonomous. You may assume that the MPC, MPS, and MPM are
constant.
a. Fill in the blanks in table below.
Y | T | YD | C | S | I | G | XN | AE | Unplanned Investment |
$400 | $40 | $320 | $40 | $60 | $50 | $10 | |||
450 | 45 | –5 | |||||||
500 | |||||||||
550 |
b. The value of equilibrium income is $ .
c. If planned investment decreases by $10, the new value of
equilibrium income is $ .
a) From the given table, we see that when income (Y) increases from 400 to 450 saving increases from 40 to 45. Hence,
MPS = Change in savings / Change in income = 5 / 50 = 10% or 0.10
MPC = 100% - 10% = 90% or 0.90
Since net export (XN) decreases decreases by 5, hence
MPM = (Change in import / Change in income) = (-5 - 10) / 50 = -15 / 50 = 30% or 0.3.
b) The value of equilibrium income is $500.
c) If planned investment decreases by $10,
If planned investment decreases by $10, the new value of equilibrium income = (450 + 550) / 2 or (460 + 490) / 2 = $475.
