Consider an economy describe by the following equations: 𝑌 = 𝐶 + 𝐼 + 𝐺 𝐶 = 100 + 0.75(𝑌 − 𝑇) 𝐼 = 500 − 50𝑟 𝐺 = 125 𝑇 = 100 Where Y is the GDP, C is consumption, I is investment, G is Government Purchases, T is taxes, and is interest rate. If the economy were at full employment (that is, at its natural level of output), GDP would be 2,000. (21 marks) A. Explain the meaning of each of these equations. (3 marks) B. What is the Marginal Propensity to Consume and Marginal Propensity to Save? (4 marks) C. Suppose the Central Bank adjusts the money supply to maintain the interest rate at 4 percent, so r=4.
