IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

  1. Explain why the tax multiplier is smaller in absolute value than the government expenditure multiplier.
  2. Suppose marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and there is a 20 percent proportional income tax. Find the change in equilibrium income for the following:-
    (a) Government purchases increase by 20
    (b) Transfers decrease by 20.
  3. We suppose that C = 70 + 0.70Y D, I = 90, G = 100, T = 0.10Y (a) Find
    the equilibrium income. (b) What are tax revenues at equilibrium income? Does the government have a balanced budget?
  4. In the above question, calculate the effect on output of a 10 per cent
    increase in transfers, and a 10 per cent increase in lump-sum taxes. Compare the effects of the two.
  5. Consider an economy described by the following functions: C = 20 + 0.80Y, I = 30, G = 50, TR = 100
    (a) Find the equilibrium level of income and the autonomous expenditure multiplier in the model.
    (b) If government expenditure increases by 30, what is the impact on equilibrium income?
    (c) If a lump-sum tax of 30 is added to pay for the increase in government purchases, how will equilibrium income change?
  6. Suppose that for a particular economy, investment is equal to 200,
    government purchases are 150, net taxes (that is lump-sum taxes minus
    transfers) is 100 and consumption is given by C = 100 + 0.75Y (a) What is the level of equilibrium income? (b) Calculate the value of the government expenditure multiplier and the tax multiplier. (c) If government expenditure increases by 200, find the change in equilibrium income.

    Elucidate.
  9. Distinguish between revenue expenditure and capital expenditure.
  10. Explain why public goods must be provided by the government.
