Question

is worth3 Use the following information to answer the next nine questions. Each points fill-in-the-blank If your answer is in decimal form, enter it with 2 decimal places. For example, if your answer is 4, enter it into the fill-in-the-blank as 40, or if your answer is 1.4, enter it into the fill-in-the-blank as 1.40.If there are no decimals in your answer, you will simply enter the number, so if your answer is 2, enter 2 with no decimals. Do not use commas. Suppose the economy is characterized as follows: AE=C+I+G+(X-M) C- 400 +.75(Y-T)-30 (r) 1-500-50(r) G-400 X-M=-25 T 80 r=5 Price level P is fixed at 1(P-1) Use the information above to get expressions for the consumption function and the AE equation. The vertical intercept for the consumption function is

Explanation / Answer

First question is answered below

8.

Vertical intercept of consumption function: 400

It is the part of consumption function independent of income.

9.

Slope of consumption function: 0.75

It is the proportion of consumption dependent on income

10.

AE = C+I+G+X-M

AE = 400+0.75(Y-80)-30(r) + 500-50(r) + 400 - 25

AE = 1300 + 0.75Y - 60 - 80r - 25

AE (Y) = 1215 + 0.75Y - 80r

Y* = 4860 - 320r

Thus, vertical intercept of AE curve = 4860

11.

For equilibrium, substitute r = 5 in AE function

AE = 4860 - 320(5)

AE (Y*) = $3260
