The aggregate consumption function for an economy is:
C=$200 billion + .75 Yd, Yd= disposable income.
Suppose that aggregate demand must shift by $160 billion to close a recesionary gap.
A: what change in government spending will return the economy to full employment GDP?
B: By how much will taxes have to change to close the GDP gap?
C: The government make a decision to finance the increased expenditures need to close the GDP gap, by rising taxes. Determine the necessary changes in government spending and taxes to close the GDP gap?

A fellow student in your economy class stops you in the hallways and says, "An increase in the demand for money causes the interest rate to rise. But a rise in the interest rate causes people to demand less money. Therefore, increases in money demand largely cancel themselves out, and have very little effect on the interest rate." Is this correct? Why or why not? (Hint draw a graph)
Explain and graph each of the following outcomes in terms of shifts in aggregate demand and short run aggregate supply
A recession emerges and the rate of inflation increases.
The unemployment rate increases, real GDP falls, but the price level does not change
Economist smith and economist jones are testifying before congress as to the effectiveness of expansionary fiscal policy.
Jones: an increase in govt spending will ultimately only increase the price level and have no effect on output or unemployment,
Smith: an increase in govt spending will have no effect on the price level or gdp
