Answer the following questions, which relate to the aggregate expenditures model: Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. a. Given the following: Ca = $120, Ig = $60, Xn = - $10, and G = $30, what is the economy's equilibrium GDP? b. If real GDP in an economy is currently $230, will the economy's real GDP rise, fall, or stay the same? c. Suppose that full-employment (and full-capacity) output in an economy is $230. If Ca = $170, Ig = $60, Xn = - $10, and G = $30, what will be the macroeconomic result?

    A. $200

    B. Fall

    C. Inflationary expenditure gap and employment levels are higher than the full employment level.

    Explanation:

    A. Equilibrium occurs where real output (Y) equals aggregate expenditures (AE), where AE = C + Ig + G + Xn.

    Therefore the equilibrium value is:

    Y = AE = C + Ig + G + Xn

    = $120 + $60 + (-$10) + $30 = $200

    B. If real GDP is $230 and the aggregate expenditures of $200 will result in positive unplanned inventory investment which means GDP will fall as firms respond to the inventory build-up by reducing output.

    C. C + Ig + G + Xn

    $170 + $60 + (-$10) + $30 = $250

    Therefore since full-employment and full-capacity output in the economy is $230 there is an inflationary expenditure gap and employment levels are higher than the full employment level.
