Given an economy is currently producing at $1.47 GDP, natural rGDP is $1.67, and the MPC is 0.94, then the multiplier for increases in aggregate expenditures is: A (round to ane decimal point). This means the federal government should increase its expenditures by A (whole number) billion dollars.
Assume taxes are zero and an economy has a consumption function of C = 0.81 (Yd) + $707.13. By how much will consumption change if disposable income in the economy changes by -447? Round your answer to two digits after the decimal and be sure to provide a negative sign if consumption decreases.
Assume that, without taxes, the consumption schedule for an economy is as shown below: See picture Instructions: Round your answer to 1 decimal place.a. What is the size of the MPC given the data above? b. Graph this consumption schedule. Instructions: Use the tool provided 'C1' to draw the consumption schedule given in the table above (plot 7 points total). To earn full credit for this graph, you must plot all required points for the given line, beginning with GDP = $100 billion. See Picture
Suppose an economy with the following characteristics.Y = Real GDP or national incomeT = Taxes = 0.3YC = Consumption = 140 + 0.9(Y – T)I = Investment = 400G = Government spending = 800X = Exports = 600M = Imports = 0.15YGiven the information above What is the equation for Aggregate Expenditures (AE) in this economy?
Determine aggregate expenditures (AE) in this economy when real GDP (Y) is equal to $1,500 billion, $2,000 billion, and $2,500 billion.When Y = $1,500 billion, AE = billion .When Y = $2,000 billion, AE = billion . When Y = $2,500 billion, AE = billion .
Assume taxes are zero and an economy has a consumption function of C = 0.89 (Yd) + $299.19. How much consumption takes place if disposable income is equal to 4,848.76? Round your answer to two digits after the decimal.
