  1. C=100+0.9DI

    T=Y/6

    DI=Y-T=Y-Y/6=5Y/6

    C=100+0.9*5Y/6

    C=100+0.75Y

    Y=C+I+G

    I=300

    G=800

    Y=100+0.75Y+300+800

    0.25Y=1200

    Y=4800

    T=4800/6=800

    T=G

    800=800

    Conclusion: Budget is balanced.

    "A" is right answer.


  2. The answers is Option "A - The budget is balanced"

    because from these values we find equilibrium level of output is 4794 and when we multiply with this Taxes which shows Govt Income then the answer is 800 approx which is equal to Govt Expenditure. So the budget is balanced.

    I hope it will help you.
