The following data regarding the performance of country A in the year 2020: All values are in RM (Million) Consumption (C) = RM100 million + 0.5 Yd Investment (I) = RM10 million Government (G) = RM50 million Tax (T) = 0.2Y Based on the data above, calculate: Level of national income using AD-AS approach. Determine the value of the tax multiplier in this economy. Determine the level of national income using the multiplier principle when investment increases by RM 20 million. Determine the level of the deflation or inflation gap for country A if the full employment level is about RM 290 million.

Step 1
To calculate the level of national income using the AD-AS approach, we need to use the equation: Y = C + I + G + (X - M), where Y is the national income, C is consumption, I is investment, G is government spending, X is exports, and M is imports. Given: C = RM100 Show more…

You are given the following data in billions of dollars on your country’s economy: Investment – 150, Government spending = 130, Exports = 70, Imports = 60, Autonomous consumption = 100, marginal propensity to save = 0.25. a) Compute the consumption and saving functions for this economy and indicate the assumptions used. (4 Marks) b) Compute the equilibrium level of income. (4 Marks) c) Determine the equilibrium level of consumption and savings. (2 Marks) d) Define and compute the multiplier. (2 Marks) e) You are given that the full employment level of national income is 735 billion. Would this economy be experiencing deflationary of inflationary gap? Why? What is the magnitude of the gap and what could the government do to remove it? (4 Marks) f) The government decided to increase its spending by 60 billion. Compute the equilibrium level of income and explain why income has or has not changed from the original level. (4 Marks)
