  1. Let: Y  C + I + G + (X - M) C = 75 + .8YDI = 110G = 180X = 40M = 15 + .04YT = -250 + .2Y Problem 1) Compute the value of equilibrium of GDP (Y0)--illustrate with an income expenditure diagram. 2) Calculate the balance of trade on current account when income assumes the value you computed in (1) above. 3) Calculate the change in imports (M) resulting from a $20 decrease in exogenous investment (I).4) Suppose potential GDP (Yf ) is equal to $1,575. Assuming the economy is in equilibrium at the value of income you computed in (1) above, calculate the change in government spending required to achieve a full employment equilibrium.

  2. 1. To solve for equilibrium national income (Y0) First, solve for A: A = Ca - cTa + Ia + GA + (Xa - Ma)A = 75 - [(.8)(-250)] + 110 + 180 + (40 - 15) = 590 Thus, we have:

  4. 2.To calculate the current account balance (BPCA): BPCA = X - M = 40 - {15 + [(.04)(1475)]} = -34 3. To calculate the change in imports (M) resulting from a $20 decrease in exogenous investment: M = m Y = .04 Y Thus, M = (.04)(-50) =-2
