1. (A-D)
A)
a = 400
b = .9
I = 300
G = 200
T = 150
(b = MPC)
a) Solve for Y* (equilibrium output)
b) What is the value of the spending (Keynesian) multiplier?
c) What is the value of the tax multiplier?
d) What is the value of the 'balanced budget' multiplier?
B)
a = 400
b = .9
I = 300
G = 300 (an increase of 100 from A above)
T = 150
a) Solve for Y* (equilibrium output)
C)
a = 400
b = .9
I = 300
G = 200
T = 250 (an increase of 100 from A above)
a) Solve for Y* (equilibrium output)
D)
a = 400
b = .8
I = 400
G = 600
t (tax rate) = 25%
a) Solve for Y* (equilibrium output)
A)
a = 400=CA
b = .9=MPC
I = 300
G = 200
T = 150
a) Solve for Y* (equilibrium output)
Answer:
C= CA+MPC Yd
C=400+0.9Yd
In Equilibrium Y=AD
Y=C+I+G=400+0.9Yd+300+200
Y=400+0.9(Y-T)+300+200
Y=400+0.9Y-0.9*150+300+200
Y= 900+0.9Y-135
0.1Y=765
Y=765/0.1 = 7650
Y*=7650
b) What is the value of the spending (Keynesian) multiplier?
Answer:
Spending Multiplier =ΔY/ΔG
ΔY/ΔG = 1/1-MPC = 1/1-0.9 = 1/0.1 = 10
c) What is the value of the tax multiplier?
Answer:
Tax Multiplier =ΔY/ΔT = -MPC/MPS
MPS = 1-MPC = 1-0.9 = 0.1
Tax Multiplier = -0.9/0.1 = -9
d) What is the value of the 'balanced budget' multiplier?
Answer:
Balanced budget multiplier = ΔY/ΔG+ ΔY/ΔT
=10-9
= 1
B)
a = 400=CA
b = .9 = MPC
I = 300
G = 300 (an increase of 100 from A above)
T = 150
a) Solve for Y* (equilibrium output)
Answer:
C= CA+MPC Yd
C=400+0.9Yd
In Equilibrium Y=AD
Y=C+I+G=400+0.9Yd+300+300
Y=400+0.9(Y-T)+300+300
Y=400+0.9Y-0.9*150+300+300
Y= 1000+0.9Y-135
0.1Y=865
Y=865/0.1 = 8650
Y*=8650
C)
a = 400=CA
b = .9=MPC
I = 300
G = 200
T = 250 (an increase of 100 from A above)
a) Solve for Y* (equilibrium output)
Answer:
C= CA+MPC Yd
C=400+0.9Yd
In Equilibrium Y=AD
Y=C+I+G=400+0.9Yd+300+200
Y=400+0.9(Y-T)+300+200
Y=400+0.9Y-0.9*250+300+200
Y= 900+0.9Y-225
0.1Y=675
Y=675/0.1 = 6750
Y*= 6750
D)
a = 400=CA
b = .8= MPC
I = 400
G = 600
t (tax rate) = 25%
a) Solve for Y* (equilibrium output)
Answer:
C= CA+MPC Yd
C=400+0.9Yd
In Equilibrium Y=AD
Y=C+I+G=400+0.9Yd+300+600
Y=400+0.8(Y-T)+400+600
Y=400+0.8Y-0.8*25%+400+200
Y= 900+0.9Y-0.8*0.25
0.1Y=900-0.2
Y=899.8/0.1
Y*= 8998
