Suppose that the economy is characterized by the following behavioral equations:
C =160+0.9YD
I = 140
G = 150
T = 100
Equilibrium output(Y)=
Total demand(Z)=
Solution
According to national income accounting,
Y= C+I+G
AD=C+I+G
Y=160+0.9YD+140+150
Y=160+0.9(Y-100)+140+150
Y=450+0.9Y-90
Y-0.9Y= 360
0.1Y=360
Y =360/0.1
Y=3600
Hence equilibrium output will be 3600 units.
AD=C+I+G
AD=160+0.9YD+140+150
AD=160+0.9(3600-100)+140+150
AD=450+0.9*3500
AD=450+3150
AD=3600
Hence total demand is also 3600 units.
