1.C = 0.8(Y - T) Y = 120; T = 20%.

What happens if T increases to 25%?

AC falls to 72.

BC = 96.

CC falls to 76.8.

DNothing, the increase in T is offset by transfer payments.

0.8 (120-(20%*120))= 76.8.

1. C = 0.8(Y - T)

Initially Y = 120 and T = 20%. And 20% of 120 will be equal to 0.2120.

C = 0.8(120 - 0.2120)

C = 0.8120(1 - 0.2)

C = 0.81200.8

C = 76.8

So initial value of C = 76.8

Now T = 25% and now 25% of 120 will be equal to,

= 0.25120

So New C will be equal to,

C = 0.8(120 - 0.25120)

C = 0.8120(1 - 0.25)

C = 0.81200.75

C = 72.

So the value of new C is equal to 72.

8. Refer to the following equation:

C = 0.8(Y - T) Y = 120; T = 20%.

If the MPC falls by 0.3, what is the result?

A.C falls to 28.8.

B. C falls to 48.

C.C falls to 84.

D.C falls but we cannot determine by how much.

9. If MPC = 0.7 and taxes decrease by 50, what happens to savings? How does the mechanism work?

A.Savings fall by 35; the added disposable income encourages people to overspend.

B. Savings increase by 35; the added disposable income encourages people to save.

C.Savings increase to 35; the government makes the tax cut back through consumption taxes.

D.Savings fall; the tax cut increases consumption by 35 and savings falls by the same amount.

B.Movement, Demand Curve for Loanable Funds, increase in government purchases.

C. Shift, Investment Curve, repeal of an investment tax credit.

D.Movement, Supply Curve of Loanable Funds, decrease in government purchases.

11.From the following equation, derive the equilibrium demand for labor and real wage:

Max Profit = PY - WL - RK

s.to. Y = AK^L^(1-)

A.(1-)A(K/L)^ = W/P

B.A(L/K)^1- = W/P

B.Y - T - C = T - G

C. S = I(r)

D.A and C.

13.Why can we interpret the real interest rate (r) as the opportunity cost of using one's own funds?

A.Because the funds can be combined with borrowed funds, of which r is the cost.

B.Because the funds used will no longer earn interest.

C. We cannot - using one's own funds does not have an opportunity cost.

D.We cannot - r is only the cost of borrowed funds.
