5 Assume the following Keynesian model for the economy of Boogerland:
Y = C + I + G + (X – M)
C = 200 + 75Y
I = 400
G = 200
(X – M) = 200
T = 0
a Find the equilibrium level of GDP
b Using a “Keynesian cross” (or 45-degree line) diagram, show graphically the
equilibrium in part a)
c What is the spending multiplier in this model?
d What is the level of consumption at equilibrium? Saving?
e If government spending increases by $100, find the new equilibrium level of
GDP Show graphically
f Starting back in a), if the consumption function is given by
C = 200 + Y
instead, what is the new equilibrium level of GDP? Show graphicall
