(1) Consumption function: C=100+.8Y (2) Planned investment: I = 38 (3) Government spending: G=75 (4) Exports: EX=25 (5) Imports:IM= .05 Y (6) Disposable income: Y Y-T (7) Taxes: T=40 (8) Planned aggregate expenditure: AE=C+I+G+ EX-IM (9) Definition of equilibrium income: Y = AE a. What is equilibrium income in Hypothetica? What is the government deficit? What is the current account balance? b. If government spending is increased to G=80, what hap pens to equilibrium income? Explain using the government spending multiplier. What happens to imports? c. Now suppose the amount of imports is limited to IM-40 by a quota on imports. If government spending is again increased from 75 to 80, what happens to equilibrium income? Explain why the same increase in G has a bigger effect on income in the second case. What is it about the presence of imports that changes the value of the multiplier? d. If exports are fixed at EX=25, what must income be to ensure a current account balance of zero?
