Question

Consider the following economy:(1) C = 1000 + 0.3 (Y - T)(2) I = 700(3) G = 500(4) T = 400True or false: the government is running a fiscal surplus.

Solution

To determine if the government is running a fiscal surplus, we need to calculate the government's net tax revenue (T) and compare it to the government's total spending (G).

From equation (4), we know that T = 400.

To calculate the government's total spending (G), we can refer to equation (3), which states that G = 500.

Now, let's calculate the government's net tax revenue (T) minus its total spending (G):

T - G = 400 - 500 = -100

Since the result is negative (-100), it means that the government is running a fiscal deficit, not a surplus. Therefore, the statement "the government is running a fiscal surplus" is false.
