Fill in the blanks. Find the equilibrium GDP. 2. Calculate the MPC and the multiplier. 3. If the government wants to set a new equilibrium at 12000 by how much it needs to increase the government expenditure?
1) The equilibrium GDP is 10000 when inventory is equal to 0.
GDP/ Income | Consumption | Investment | Government expenditure | Exports | Imports | Aggregate Expenditure | Inventories | GDP will |
8400 |
6800 |
1200 | 1000 | 400 | 600 | 8800 | -400 | not be in equilibrium |
9200 | 7400 | 1200 | 1000 | 400 | 600 | 9400 | -200 | not be in equilibrium |
10000 | 8000 | 1200 | 1000 | 400 | 600 | 10000 | 0 | be in equilibrium |
10800 | 8600 | 1200 | 1000 | 400 | 600 | 10600 | 200 | not be in equilibrium |
11600 | 9200 | 1200 | 1000 | 400 | 600 | 11200 | 400 | not be in equilibrium |
2)
MPC =change in consumption/change in income
= (9200 - 6800)/(11600 -8400)
= 0.75
Now, Multiplier = 1/(1-MPC)
= 1/(1-0.75)
= 4
3) If the government wants to being new equilibrium to 12,000 it has to increase government expenditure by 500.
This is because we know that multiplier is 4 and earlier equilibrium is 10,000
i.e change in Income = 12000- 10000
= 2000
And change in income / change in investment = multiplier
OR 2000/change in investment = 4
OR change in investment = 2000/4
= 500.
