Calculating Aggregate Demand

Consider a hypothetical economy where total demand is determined by the spending of households, firms, the government, and the net effect of international trade. The economy is described by the following parameters:

  • Autonomous consumption = 150
  • Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75
  • Tax rate = 0.20
  • Autonomous investment = 250
  • Interest rate sensitivity of investment = 10
  • Interest rate = 5% (use r=5 in your calculation)
  • Government spending = 300
  • Exogenous exports = 180
  • Marginal propensity to import = 0.15

Using the standard expression for aggregate demand, calculate the total demand in this economy if the total income is 2000.
