Now we look at the role taxes play in determining equilibrium income. Suppose we have an 

economy of the type in Sections 9-4 and 9-5, described by the following functions:

C -

 50  .8YD

 −

I -

 70 

 −−G -

 200

 −−TR -

 100

 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 rather than .8? 

 e. Can you explain why the multiplier is 1 when t -

 1?

to finally implement the long-awaited and much needed labor reforms. One of the most
crucial reform has been the enactment of the Minimum Wage Law. In accordance with the
law, the government of Gotham city decided to impose a minimum wage of 1000 Deltas
(Delta is the official currency), with an intent to earn the vote bank of the workers.
(a) Before the implementation of the minimum wage law, the market wage was 1200
Deltas. Critics say that the minimum wage law is nothing but a political gimmick,
as for the public it creates an impression that it is helping workers while at the same
time, it keeps the capitalists happy with absolutely no bearing on the free market
efficiency. Are they correct? Explain with the help of a diagram
