Exam 11: Expenditure Multipliers

You are given the following information about the Canadian economy.Autonomous consumption expenditure is $50 billion, investment is $200 billion, and government expenditure is $250 billion.The marginal propensity to consume is 0.7 and net taxes are $250 billion.Net taxes are assumed to be constant and not vary with income.Exports are $500 billion and imports are $450 billion. The consumption function in billions of dollars is
