Suppose there is some hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.25. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is (.25/.75/1/1.33/4) , and the spending multiplier for this economy is (.25/.75/1/1.33/4). Suppose the government in this economy decides to decrease government purchases by $250 billion. The decrease in government spending will lead to a decrease in income, creating an initial change in consumption equal to $_____ billion . This decreases income yet again, leading to a second change in consumption equal to $_______billion . The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is $ _______trillion. The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD1AD1) for this economy before the change in government spending.

The multiplier effect of a change in government purchases Suppose there is some hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.80 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.20. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is (0.2 or 0.8 or 1 or 1.25 or 5), and the spending multiplier for this economy is (0.2 or 0.8 or 1 or 1.25 or 5). Suppose the government in this economy decides to increase government purchases by $400 billion. The increase in government spending will lead to an increase in income, creating an initial change in consumption equal to (320 billion or 2000 billion or 1000 billion or 80 billion or 160 billion). This increases income yet again, leading to a second change in consumption equal to (160 billion or 80 billion or 1000 billion or 2000 billion or 256 billion). The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is (2 trillion or 0.8 trillion or 1.6 trillion or 3.2 trillion).
Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.70 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.30. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is0.7 , and the oversimplified multiplier for this economy is3.3333 . Suppose the government in this economy decides to increase government purchases by $300 billion. The increase in government purchases will lead to an increase in income, generating an initial change in consumption equal to$210 billion . This increases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to$147 billion . The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is$1 trillion . The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD1 ) for this economy before the change in government spending. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot the new aggregate demand curve (AD2 ) after the multiplier effect takes place. For simplicity,…

By using the above information: a) Find the equilibrium value of national income (you can take the approximate value if necessary b) Find out the effects of an increase in government expenditure by100 c) Just find the new national income equilibrium level when marginal tax rate is increased to 30 % and marginal propensity to consume is increase to 0.9.

The multiplier effect of a change in government purchases Suppose there is some hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.25. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is (0.25 or 0.75 or 1 or 1.33 or 4), and the spending multiplier for this economy is (0.25 or 0.75 or 1 or 1.33 or 4). Suppose the government in this economy decides to decrease government purchases by $250 billion. The decrease in government spending will lead to a decrease in income, creating an initial change in consumption equal to (-$1,000 billion or -$187.5 billion or -$93.8 billion or - $62.5 billion or -500 billion). This decreases income yet again, leading to a second change in consumption equal to (- $93.8 billion or - 1,000 billion or - $500 billion or - $140.6 billion or -62.5 billion). The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is (-$1 trillion or - $1.9…
