Marginal propensity to save (MPS) =0.2
Tax rate (t) =0.2
Autonomous saving=-50
investment spending (I) =100
Government expenditure (G) =150
exports(X) =120
autonomous imports=30
marginal propensity to import (im)= 0.15

(a) Consumption equation will be: C = autonomous consumption + c*Y
= autonomous consumption + (1 - 0.2)*Y = autonomous
consumption + 0.8Y
(b) The equilibrium level of income using the AD=AS approach is in the point,
where S = I, so:
-50 + 0.2Y = 100
Y = 750, S = 100
(c) The equilibrium level of income using the injection = withdrawals (J=W)
approach will be:
I + G + X = S + T + M
100 + 150 + 120 = (-50 + 0.2Y) + 0.2Y + (30 + 0.15Y)
370 = 0.55Y - 20
Y = 709
(d) fiscal surplus (deficit) = T - G = 0.2*709 - 150 = -8.2, so there is a
deficit.
(e) net export at the equilibrium level of income will be NX = X - M = 120 -
(30 + 0.15*709) = -16.35
(f) The level of income should be:
120 - (30 + 0.15Y) = 0
0.15Y = 90
Y = 600
(g) what is the value of the multiplier in an economy:
i. consisting only of households and businesses (no government or foreign
sectors)
m = 1/(1 - c) = 1/s = 1/0.2 = 5
ii. consisting of households, businesses and the government (but no foreign
sector)
m = 1/(1 - (1-t)(1-s)) = 1/(1 - 0.8*0.8) = 2.78
iii consisting of both C,I,G and foreign sector
m = 1/(1 - (1-t)(1-s - im)) = 1/(1 - 0.8*0.65) = 2.08
