ECON 104 HOMEWORK 6 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Consider the following model i) C = 1500 mpc (Y - tY) ii) I = 800 iii) G = 500 iv) X - M = 500 - mpi (Y) where: t = the (flat) tax rate mpc = the marginal propensity to consume mpi = the marginal propensity to import suppose mpc = .80, t = .25, mpi = .2 Given the information above, solve for the equilibrium output: We know that the formula for the (government) spending multiplier is 1/(1-mpc(1-t) mpi). The value of the government spending multiplier in t...
