62.

If Teena's consumption function is of the form [C = 400 + 0.8Yd], Yd is disposable income , Y is aggrgated income (output) , T is tax , I =300, G=1300, T =0.2 Y +50 , Y = ?

a)

since Yd= Y-T,

C = 400 + 0.8 * ( Y- (0.2Y+50) = 400 + 0.8 * ( 0.8 Y-50) = 0.64 Y + 360

b)

since Yd= Y-T,

C = 400 + 0.8 * ( Y- (0.2Y+50) = 400 + 0.8 * ( 0.8 Y-50) = 0.64 Y + 300

64.

a)

deficit = G-T = 1300 - T

= 1300 - ( 0. 2 * 5444.44 +50)

= -161.11

deficit = G-T = 1300 - T

= 1300 - ( 0. 2 * 5444.44 +50) = 161.11

c)

deficit = G-T = 1300 - T

= 1300 - ( 0. 2 * 5444.44 +50) = 61.11

66.
