5. a) AE = 200 + 0.6Y; (0.6 is the slope of the AE line. Check any two points on it: AE
increase $300 for every $500 increase in national income).
b) $500. (You can either calculate this algebraically once you have the expression for the AE
line; alternatively, draw in a 450 line, where it crosses the AE line is equilibrium).
6. This would suggest that irrespective of Canada's level of GDP it would always import a certain
amount from abroad. These goods and services could be regarded as "necessities" and would
include items that would be very difficult or very expensive to produce in Canada, e.g. many
food commodities like coffee, tea, tropical fruits; some building materials such as teak,
mahogany and Italian marble; specialised hi-tech equipment like satellites, radar and large
commercial aircraft.

b) Income: $500
Equilibrium National Income can be seen in Table 6.11 (completed) where Y (national
income) is equal to AE, which in this case is $500. In Figure 6.12 (completed) this is at
e1 where the AE curve intersects the 45o line which is also at an income level of $500.
c) Reading the values from Table 6.11 (completed) for income level of $500 shows the
following:
Total Injections:
I (60) + G (150) + X (50) ) = $260
Total Leakages:
S (50) + T (150) + IM (60) = $260.
d) MPE: 0.5
(Aggregate expenditures (AE) changes by 50 for every change of $100 in income (Y),
which is 50/100 or 0.5)
e) Multiplier: 2
(The value of the MLR is (1 − 0.5) = 0.5, and therefore the value of the multiplier is 1/0.5
= 2.)
f) See Figure 6.12 (completed)
g) Income: $800;
net exports: + $110.
The new equilibrium income occurs where the new AE2 curve intersects the 45o line,
which is at an income of $800. (Since the multiplier is 2, then an increase in exports of
$150 will increase equilibrium income by 2 x $150, or $300 to the new value of $800.)
Table 6.6 (Completed) shows that imports increase by $10 for every $100 increase in the
level of income (the marginal propensity to import is 0.1). Therefore, if income increases
by $300, imports will increase by $300 x 0.1 or $30 to $90. Net exports will equal exports
of $200 (an increase of 150 from 50) minus imports of $90.

c) $8000. (Draw in a new AE line $4000 lower and check where it crosses the 450 line;
alternatively note that with a multiplier of 2, a decrease of $4000 in investment will decrease

d) $20 000. (Draw in a new AE line $2000 higher and check where it crosses the 450 line;

43A Autonomous expenditures is the portion of total spending that is independent of the level of
income, i.e. it is the amount of spending when income is zero.
44A The marginal propensity to import refers to the change in total imports that results from a
change in income, expressed as a ratio, i.e. MPM = ∆ imports/ ∆ income.

Expenditures equilibrium is the income at which the value of production and aggregate
expenditures are equal. It can be expressed in three equivalent ways:
Income (Y) = Aggregate expenditures (AE)

Unplanned investment is zero, i.e. there is no shortage or surplus

56A Expenditures equilibrium can occur at any output level in the economy, i.e. the economy may
be suffering a serious recessionary or inflationary gap yet the economy may still be at
equilibrium. Full employment equilibrium, in contrast, means that not only is the economy
in equilibrium, but the economy is also producing at full-employment.
