An economy has a fixed price level, no imports, and no income taxes. MPC is 0.9, and real GDP is $200 billion. Businesses increase investment by $10 billion. Calculate the new level of real GDP and explain why real GDP increases by more than $10 billion. The new level of real GDP is $100 billion. Real GDP increases by more than $10 billion because the increase in investment OA. enables firms to produce more output OB. increases exports OC. induces an increase in consumption expenditure OD. increases the marginal propensity to consume

Table 2 shows elements in the national income accounts of an economy. Assume the economy is currently in equilibrium. Elements £ billions Consumption (total) 80 Investment 9 Government Expenditure 6 Imports 15 Exports 8 What is the current equilibrium level of income? What is the level of injections? What is the level of withdrawals? If national income now rises by £22 billion and as a result, the consumption of domestically produced goods rises to £80 billion. Calculate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC)What is the value of the multiplier? What is the value of the multiplier? Comment on the results in part (3) and (4).
if investment is $0.5 trillion, government spending is $1 trillion, and next exports are -$0.5 trillion, the equilibrium GDP is:
In the third quarter of 2008, investment in the U.S. totaled $4,2 trillion and in 2007, investment was $1,4 trillion. In addition, third quarter of 2007 real GDP was $48 trillion. Suppose the MPC in the U.S. is 0.80. Ignoring all other changes in spending, what is the new real GDP?
ECONOMICS An economy has neither imports nor income taxes. The MPC is 0.75 and the real GDP is $120 billion. The government increases expenditures by $4 billion. The multiplier is _____ and the change in real GDP from the increase in government expenditures is _____ billion.
Let's say the autonomous Investment = $5,000, autonomous consumption = $12000, autonomous government expenditures = $3,000, autonomous net exports = - $2,000, and the mpe = .6. Now there is a banking crisis, and Investment drops $2,500. What is equilibrium GDP? Question 8 options: $15,500 $33,500 $48,750 $38,750 2
Please calculate level of GDP in equilibrium, consumption and savings level if you know that: I (investment) = 300 Ca (Autonomous Consumption) = 100 MPS (Marginal Propensity to Save) = 0,1 G (Government Expenditures) = 300 T (net taxe rate) = 0,2
In an economy, autonomous consumption expenditure is $50 billion, investment is $200 billion, and government expenditure is $250 billion. Exports are $500 billion and imports are $450 billion. Assume that net taxes and imports are autonomous and price level is fixed. a)What is the consumotion function? b)What is the equation of the aggregate expenditure curve? c)Calculate equilibrium expenditure. d)Calculate the multiplier. e)If investment decreases to $150 billion, what is the change in equilibrium expenditure ?
suppose that the was experiencing a recession and the government inject R50 billion, resulting in a total change in real GDP of R200 billion. calculate MPC?
I'm doing economics homework and I'm having trouble findong the MPC. In this particular problem, consumers' disposable income increased by $525 billion and their spending increased by $283 billion.
An economy has a fixed price level, no imports and no income taxes. MPC is 0.75 and real GDP is $150 billion. Government increases expenditures by $5 billion. Calculate the: Multiplier and interpret the meaning of the multiplier. Change in real GDP and new level of real GDP.
Good day . can you please assist on the following Q.1 DISTINGUISH BETWEEN INCOME AND DISPOSABLE INCOME Q.2 HOW DO TAXES AFFECT THE LEVEL OF AGGREGATE AUTONOMOS SPENDING, THE MULTIPLIER AND THE EQUILIBRIUM INCOME IN THE ECONOMY?
THE AGGREGATE EXPENDITURE MODEL (IN THE SHORT RUN)YOU MUST SHOW YOUR CALCULATIONS IN THE SPACE BELOWFOR THE NEXT PROBLEM USE THE FOLLOWING FORMULA:CHANGE IN GDP = [ 1 / (1-MPC) ] * CHANGE IN GInitially, the economy is producing $13 trillion in goods and services and the government is spending $2 trillion.Then the government decides to increase its spending to $2.7 trillion. What is the value of the spending multiplier?
