In an economy, C = 300 + 0.5Y and I = ? 600/- (where C =consumption, Y =income or investment). Compute the equilibrium level of income
We suppose that C = 70 + 0.70Y D, I = 90, G = 100, T = 0.10Y (1) Find the equilibrium income
Suppose C = 40 + 0.8Y D. T = 50, I = 60, G = 40, X = 90, M = 50 + 0.05Y. Find equilibrium income
Suppose C = 40 + 0.8Y D. T = 50, I = 60, G = 40, X = 90, M = 50 + 0.05Y. What happens to equilibrium income and the net export balance when the government purchases increase from 40 to 50?
In the above question 15, if exports change to X = 100, find the change in equilibrium income
