assume you are given a $100 raise, and decide to save $20 of that money. also assume that if you make zero income in a year, you will still spend $7000. a.) what is your consumption function? b.) if you earn $20000 in a year how much will you spend? c.) will you be able to save while earning the above income?
6. You are given the following data concerning Freedonia, a leg- endary country: (1) Consumption function: C = 200 + 0.8Y (2) Investment function: I = 100 (3) AE = C + I (4) AE = Y a. What is the marginal propensity to consume in Freedonia, and what is the marginal propensity to save? b. Graph equations (3) and (4) and solve for equilibrium income. C. Suppose equation (2) is changed to (2´) I = 110. What is the new equilibrium level of income? By how much does the $10 increase in planned investment change equilibrium income? What is the value of the multiplier?
a. Is the equilibrium level of income higher or lower than it was in problem 1(a)? Calculate the new equilibrium level, Y', to verify this. b. Now suppose investment increases to I = 100, just as, in problem 1(d). What is the new equilibrium income? Does this change in investment spending have more or less of an effect on Y than it did in problem 1? Why? Draw a diagram indicating the change in equilibrium income in this case. с. d. 3. Now we look at the role taxes play in determining equilibrium income. Suppose we have an economy of the type in Sections 10-4 and 10-5, described by the following functions: C = 50 +.8YD I = 70 G = 200 TR = 100 1-0-0-20. t = .20 a. Calculate the equilibrium level of income and the multiplier in this model. b. Calculate also the budget surplus, BS. c. Suppose that t increases to .25. What is the new equilibrium income? The new multiplier? d. Calculate the change in the budget surplus. Would you expect the change in the surplus to be more or less if c = .9…
Mathematical economics: For an economy the following consumption function is given : C = 60+0.75 Y. %3D (a) If investment in a year is $35 crores, what will be the equilibrium level of income or output ? (b) If full-employment level of income (i.e., level of potential output) is $460 crores, what investment is required to be undertaken to ensure equilibrium at full employment ?
Imagine this economy has a 10% tax on income. The following are exogenous (not directly affected by income): G = 11 I = 4 X = M = 0 The consumption function is: C = k + cY, where k = 3, c = 0.8 Now we have to take that tax into account. Here is a way to think about it: Look at the consumption function. It says if you give me one more dollar of income I will spend 80 cents of it (mpc = 0.8). BUT I can only spend what I receive. I can only spend my after-tax or disposable income. With a 10% tax, I don't receive Y I receive 90% of Y or Y*(1-t) where t = 10% or 0.1. Let's define disposable income as Yd where Yd = Y*(1-t). Therefore we restate our consumption function as C = k + cYd Now we have, in this case, C = k + cYd or C = 3 + 0.8Yd or C = 3 + 0.8*(Y*[1-0.1]) or C = 3 + 0.72Y. Now what is the equilibrium GDP? Give the answer to ONE decimal place.
a) Draw a consumption function and label the axes.b) Suppose that your friend has a consumption function of the form y=1.4x+200. Is this function sustainable in the long run? Why or why not?c) Suppose that your consumption function is y=0.75+1000. What is your marginal propensity to consume? What is your autonomous expenditure?d) State the permanent income hypothesis.e) Suppose that I raise your income today by $10, and lower it tomorrow by $10. How would your behavior change according to the consumption function (aka Keynesian, aka rule-of-thumb) model? And what about according to the permanent income hypothesis model?
Assume that a nation's marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75. A highiy productive, cost-cutting technology is developed for the production of commercial airplanes.

(a) For this nation, identify and explain how much this spending on new technology will change each of the following in the first round: i. Income (GDP) L. Saving i. Consumption (b) Assuming a closed economy and no leakages, identify and explain how much this spending on new technology will change each of the following at the end of the final round: i. Income (GDP) ii. Saving li. Consumption
