  1. [1 Point] Consider a hypothetical open economy with a government spending (G) of 1,500, Taxes (T) are 1,000, Consumption (C) is given by the equation C = 250 + 0.75 (Y – T), Investment (I) is given by the equation I = 1,000 – 50 r, where r is the real interest rate in

percent and Net Export(NX) is given by the equation NX = 500- 500ɛ, and real interest rate

r* = 5. . Given this information about the components of the GDP, answer the following questions based on this information (Hint: Y= C+I+G+NX, Where Y stands for the national income (GDP))
