Here's a breakdown of the problem:

Given Information:

  • Current level of income (YcurrentY_{current}) = 3,000 billion FCFA (This is assumed to be the full employment income, YFEY_{FE})
  • Marginal Propensity to Consume (cc) = 0.8
  • Autonomous consumption (C0C_0) = 100 billion FCFA
  • Investment (II) = 300 billion FCFA
  • Government spending (GG) = 200 billion FCFA
  • Direct taxes (TT) = 0.1Y0.1Y (Tax rate t=0.1t = 0.1)

a) Calculate the equilibrium level of national income.

The equilibrium condition for national income is given by:

Y=C+I+GY = C + I + G

Where consumption CC is given by C=C0+cYdC = C_0 + cY_d, and disposable income Yd=Y−TY_d = Y - T.
Since T=tYT = tY, we have Yd=Y−tY=Y(1−t)Y_d = Y - tY = Y(1-t).
Substituting YdY_d into the consumption function:

C=C0+cY(1−t)C = C_0 + cY(1-t)

Now, substitute CC back into the equilibrium equation:
