Consider an economy in the short-run described by the following equations:
Z = C + I + G
G = 500
T = 500
C = 250 + 0.75(Y – T)
I = 625
a. What is the equilibrium condition that allows us to solve for Y. Find Y. Compute private saving, public saving and total/national saving at this level of Y.
b. What is the value of the marginal propensity to consume? What is the value of the expenditure
multiplier?
c. Now suppose that G rises to 600. Find the new equilibrium value of Y.
d. Compute private saving, public saving and total/national saving at the new equilibrium.
