1.Expenditure within the Circular Flow diagram arises from each of the four sectors: Household Consumption, C, Producers Investment, I, Government Expenditure, G, and Net Exports, NX = X - IM.

Suppose an economy is described as follows (in $ Billions):
Autonomous Consumption, C = $25
Government Taxes, ? = 0.54
Autonomous Government Expenditure, G = $420
Marginal Propensity to Consume, MPC = 0.87
Autonomous Investment Expenditure, I = $125
Exports, X = $475
Marginal Propensity to Import, MPIM = 0.37

a.Using the values provided above, determine and briefly explain the "Multiplier" for this economy.

b.Determine the level of GDP, Y, for this economy.

c.Determine the level of Disposable Income, Yd for households in this economy.

d.Determine the level of Imports in this economy AND explain whether this economy illustrates a trade surplus, balance, or deficit.

e.Determine the Government Budget Balance for this economy AND explain whether the Government is in deficit, balance, or surplus.
