Question:
Consider the Kenyan economy to be described by the following information
- Consumption function C = 100 + 0.8Yd
- Planned investment 1 = 38
- Government Purchases G=75
- Exports of goods and services X = 25
- Imports of goods and services M = 0.05 Yd
- Disposable income Yd = Y-T
- Net taxes T = 40
- Planned aggregate expenditure AE = C+1+G+X-M
- Definition of equilibrium income Y = AE
- What is the equilibrium income (Y)? What is the budget deficit? What is the current account balance (X-M)? (8 marks)
- Suppose the government increases its purchases to G=80. Explain using the government spending multiplier what happens to equilibrium national income (5 marks)
- Suppose the government implements an expansionary fiscal policy in form of a tax cut from T=40 to T=30. Explain using the tax multiplier what the change in equilibrium national income will be. What happens to consumption spending (c) and imports (m)? (7 marks)
