Suppose an economy is characterized by the following equations. All figures are in billions of dollars.
C = 400 + ⅔(Yd)
T = 300 + ¼(Y)
G = 400
I = 200
Xn = 100
Consider the following economy. All figures are in billions of dollars.
C = 180 + 0.8(Yd)
T = 100 + 0.25Y
I = 300
G = 400
Xn = 200
Suppose an economy has a consumption function C = $100 + ⅔ Yd. Autonomous taxes, Ta, equal 0, the income tax rate is 10%, and Yd = 0.9Y. Government purchases, investment, and net exports each equal $100. Solve the following problems.
