In the aggregate expenditures model presented in the textbook, investment is assumed to
rise with increases in real GDP and fall with decreases in real GDP.
218.
In the private closed economy, equilibrium GDP occurs where C + Ig = GDP.
219.
When C + Ig = GDP in a private closed economy, S = Ig and there are no unplanned
changes in inventories.

Learning Objective: 31-03 Illustrate how economists combine consumption and investment to
depict an aggregate expenditures schedule for a private closed economy and how that schedule
can be used to demonstrate the economys equilibrium level of output where the total quantity of
goods produced equals the total quantity of goods purchased.

Equilibrium GDP: C Ig = GDP

If C + Ig exceeds GDP in a private closed economy, GDP will decline.
221.
If the MPC is 0.8 in a private closed economy, a $30 billion increase in planned
investment will increase equilibrium real GDP by $120 billion.
222.
Actual investment consists of planned investment plus unplanned changes in inventories
(plus or minus).

TRUE
223.
A $20 billion decrease in investment in a private closed economy that has an MPS of 0.5
will reduce saving by $10 billion once the multiplier process has ended.
224.
Exports are added to, and imports are subtracted from, aggregate expenditures in moving
from a closed to an open economy.
225.
For an open mixed economy, the equilibrium level of GDP is determined where Sa + Ig
+ X = T + G.
226.
Equal increases in government expenditures and tax collections will leave the equilibrium
GDP unchanged.
227.
A $10 billion decrease in taxes will increase the equilibrium GDP by more than would a
$10 billion increase in government expenditures.
228.
A lump-sum tax causes the after-tax consumption schedule to be flatter than the before-tax
consumption schedule.
