1. Given the following information about a nation’s economy, answer the questions below.

C = 250 + .8 Yd                        T = 100

I = 275

G = 175

X = 65

M = 70

1. Use algebra to solve for equilibrium. (You must show ALL of your work.) Recall that in equilibrium, TE = TP =Y.
2. Calculate the multiplier.
3. Refer to part (a) and simplify the TE equation into standard slope-intercept form:

TE = A + MPC*Y    If you can not easily see this in your algebra in part (a), simply take the given information and re-derive the equation by collecting like terms and simplifying.

4. What is the sum of autonomous expenditures (A = intercept)?
5. Use the equation in part c to graph the Keynesian AE curve for this economy. Make sure to identify the intercept (A), slope and equilibrium incom
6. Is the government’s budget in balance? (Hint: Compare T & G) Is there a surplus or deficit?

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To solve for equilibrium we need to equate total expenditures TE and total production TP which is eq... View the full answer
