Suppose the government enacts a stimulus program composed of $400 billion of new government spending and $100 billion of tax cuts for an economy currently producing a GDP of $15,000 billion. If all of the new spending occurs in the current year and the government expenditure multiplier is 1.6, the expenditure portion of the stimulus package will addO percentage points of extra growth to the economy. (Round your response to two decimal places.) If the government taxation multiplier is 1.2, the tax cut portion of the stimulus package will add percentage points of extra growth to the economy. (Round your response to two decimal places.) As a result of the stimulus program, the economy's GDP was increased by percentage points over its value without the program. (Round your response to two decimal places.) If the economy's actual growth was - 5 percent, then without the stimulus package, growth would have been percentage points. (Round your response to two decimal places and use a minus sign if necessary.)

The government of Osiris believes in balancing its budget over a seven-year cycle. Over the first six years, it has maintained its spending at $200 billion and its MTR at 0.25.

Make a graph showing the spending and tax revenue of your state government for as many years as you can find (use the government of your home country if you are not from the United States).

Suppose, government is undertaking expansionary fiscal policy because of recessionary concerns. How will the effectiveness of the policy be affected if public is feeling cautious and not spending much? Present your arguments in 100 words or less. (Hint: think about the size of the multiplier effect).
Suppose actual real GDP is $13.19 trillion, potential real GDP is $12.96 trillion, the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, and that the government has a balanced budget. If we ignore price effects, by how many trillions of dollars should the government change its spending to fix the gap while keeping the federal budget balanced? (Round this to two digits after the decimal and enter this value as either a positive value or a negative value without the dollar sign.)
Congress would like to increase tax revenues by 5.5 percent. Assume that the average taxpayer in the United States earns $56,000 and pays an average tax rate of 20 percent. Required: If the income effect is in effect for all taxpayers, what average tax rate will result in a 5.5 percent increase in tax revenues? Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
