Income
The fundamental psychological law... is that men are disposed, as a rule and on the average, to increase their consumption as their income increases, but not as much as the increase in their income.

Solving for full employment equilibrium Y when there are values for C & I & G can be computed
Solving for full employment equilibrium Y when there are values for C & I & G can be computed Yg = G x K, M or K = 1 / 1-mpc = 1/ 1-0.75 = 1/0.25 = 4 100 = G x 4 G = 100 / 4 = 25, the Government Spending G Y = a + by + I + G = 50 + 0.75 y + 50 + 25 = 125 + 0.75 y (y 0.75y) = 125 Y = 500, the full employment equilibrium Ye
assuming investment is P50B? 3. How much is equilibrium income where Y = C = I + G if Government Spending is P20B? 4. Graph the aforementioned equations. 5. Compute the multiplier at each of the ff mpcs given an investment of P5B: Mpc Multiplier Yg (Income Generated) 50% 45%

As determined from the HH,
Inflationary Gap
Occurs when aggregate demand C + I + G exceeds
equilibrium income Y
Deflationary Gap
Occurs when aggregate demand C + I + G fall short of equilibrium income Y

Fiscal Policy
When the government uses its powers to influence
total spending either directly by changingits purchases of goods and services or indirectly by altering the disposable incomes of persons to changes in the level of taxation or transfer outlays
Fiscal Policies
1) Periods of deflation
Deficit budget (government spending more than
what it collects through taxes) or tax cuts
2) Periods of inflation
Surplus budget (government spending less than its budget) or balanced budget or tax increases
