Please help. I need detailed information on the following:

If taxes are lowered how will it affect the multiplier, AD, GDP, prices and tax revenue?

Solution Preview

Taxes affect the multiplier through disposable income. Thus, the tax multiplier would be -MPC/ (1-MPC). A reduction in taxes has the opposite effect on economic output, so there is a negative sign. Thus reducing taxes would create a positive change in Y, but it does so to a lesser degree than a direct injection of income would do so. This is because the nominator of the tax multiplier, MPC, is always less ...
