Solution

In the basic Keynesian model, the incorrect statement is "Planned investment always equals actual investment."

Here's why:

In the Keynesian model, planned investment refers to the amount businesses intend to invest, given their expectations about the future. Actual investment, on the other hand, is the amount businesses actually end up investing.

These two can differ due to unforeseen changes in the economy. For example, if businesses expect the economy to grow, they may plan to invest a certain amount. However, if the economy unexpectedly enters a recession, businesses may reduce their actual investment.

So, the correct answer is "Planned investment always equals actual investment." This statement is incorrect because planned investment does not always equal actual investment.

In the simple Keynesian model, which of the following statements is false? Group of answer choices An increase in the marginal propensity to save will reduce the level of income in the economy. The reduction in output from an increase in taxation is larger the smaller is the marginal propensity to consume. An increase in lump sum taxation accompanied by an increase in government spending of the same size will increase output. The equilibrium level of output does not depend upon the size of the money multiplier.

Consider the Keynesian income-expenditure model with a government sector but no foreign sector. Assume that taxation is partly endogenous and dependent on the level of income. Suppose that the government increases its expenditure by $200 million and also increases the exogenous component of taxation by $200 million. Taking the budget balance as being equal to total taxes less government expenditure, which of the following statements is correct?Group of answer choicesThe equilibrium level of income will increase by less $200 million and the budget balance would improveThe equilibrium level of income will decrease but the budget balance would actually improveThe equilibrium level of income will increase by more than $200 million and the budget balance will be unchangedThe equilibrium level of income will increase by $200 million and the budget balance will be unchanged.
