Income Adjustment Mechanism and Synthesis of Automatic Adjustments

1. Given C =100+0.8Y, M=150+0.20Y, I=100, and X = 350:

4. (4.0 pts) Determine Y_E algebraically using the trade balance approach. Draw a graph and label it carefully to avoid losing points. Note that S = Y – C.

Answer:

5. (5.0 pts) Starting with the algebraic and graphical results of the part (a), determine algebraically and determine graphically the effect on Y_E of a simultaneous decrease in S and M of 200 each. What is the size of trade balance deficit/surplus?
