1. Show that equilibruim level of income is at a point where consumption plus investment schedules intersect the 45 degree line. 2. Suppose the level of autonomous investment in an economy is K200,000 and the consumption function is given below as c = 80+0.8Y, what will be the equilibrium level of income. 4.if MPcC is 0.8, what will be the increase in the level of income if investment is increased to K400,000. 5. What increase in investment is needed to raise the income by K4000, if MPC is 0.75? How much will be the increase in consumption and saving due to this increase in income. 3. Given the consumption level C= 50 + 75Y, if we assume autonomous investment is K200,000 at what level of income will savings become equal to investment?
Here is a little easy one. The question is based on Macro. The consumption function is given by C=AYB where B=0.5 and A=0.3. The marginal propensity to save (MPS) is: a) Equal to 0.5 b) increasing in income, Y c) equal to 0.3 d) equal to 0.7 The correct answer is b, I think as there is no direct way to calculate MPS(Righ?). Please work me through the logic of it. Please show clearly that MPS is an increasing function in Y. Thank you.
1. Interpret what it means if MPC equals 0.95? 2. If your MPC is 0.9 and your income falls by $200, what will be your change in spending? 3. For each of the following determine whether there is movement along a consumption schedule (function), or a shift of the schedule. If there is a shift then indicate the direction of the shift and interpret that shift. a. Consumer’s expectations became more optimistic. b. An increase in the interest rate. c. There is a current low level of consumer durables on hand. d. Consumer incomes rise.
Suppose that disposable income, consumptio, and saving in some country are $ 200 billion, $ 150 billion, and $ 50 billion respectively. Next, assume that disposobal income increase by $ 20 billion, consumption rises by $ 18 billion, and saving goes up by $ 2 billion. a) What is the economy's MPC? What is its MPS? Instructions: Round your answers to 1 decimal place. b) What was the APC before the increase in disposable income? Instructions: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. What was the APC after the increase. ( round your answer to 3 decimal places).
Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75. That is, if disposable income increases by $1, consumption increases by 75¢. Suppose further that last year disposable income in the economy was $500 billion and consumption was $450 billion. On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot this economy's consumption function based on these data. Fill in the blanks From the preceding data, you know that the level of saving in the economy last year was ____________billion and the marginal propensity to save in this economy is ___________. Suppose that this year, disposable income is projected to be $700 billion. Based on your analysis, you would expect consumption to be _______ billion and saving to be ________ billion.
Given Co = 400 and MPC=0.70 Does MPS + MPC = 1? If autonomous consumption increases by $50. What is the multiplier? What is the change in total spending? Use a diagram to show which curve shifts and how.
Due to some negative news concerning the impact of global warming on the economy, consumers are becoming more pessimistic about the future to the point of reducing autonomous consumption by 50. What is the immediate impact on income before the economy adjusts to its new equilibrium? What are the economy’s equilibrium level of output Y and interest rate r following the fall in autonomous consumption? Compute the equilibrium level of consumption and investment spending. With the help of the IS/LM graph, carefully explain what happens to the economy following the fall in consumer confidence.
Assume in a simple economy that the level of saving is –500 whenaggregate output equals zero and that the marginal propensity tosave is 0.2. Derive the saving function and the consumption func-tion, and draw a graph showing these functions. At what level ofaggregate output does the consumption curve cross the 45° line?Explain your answer and show this on the graph.
Suppose that the linear equation for consumption in a hypothetical economy is C = 40 + .8Y. Also suppose that income (Y ) is $400. Determine (a) the marginal propensity to consume, (b) the marginal propensity to save, (c) the level of consumption, (d ) the average propensity to consume, (e) the level of saving, and ( f ) the average propensity to save.
The following table shows income and consumption. Calculate: A- Saving (S), B- Marginal propensity to consume (MPC), C- Marginal propensity to save (MPS), D- Average propensity to consume (APC), E- Average propensity to save (APS). (show your calculations, write the answers to 2 decimal places) Y C S MPC MPS APC APS S = MPC = MPS = APC = APS = 300 360 410 400 600 510 800 250 1050 0.32
If the MPS rises, then the MPC will: a. Fall b. Rise c. Stay the same In what direction will each of the following occurrences shift the consumption and saving schedules, other things equal? a. A large decrease in real estate values, including private homes. b. A sharp, sustained increase in stock prices. c. A 5-year increase in the minimum age for collecting Social Security benefits. d. An economywide expectation that a recession is over and that a robust expansion will occur. e. A substantial increase in household borrowing to finance auto purchases. Irving owns a chain of movie theaters. He is considering whether he should build a new theather downtown. The expected rate of return is 15 percent per year. He can borrow money at a 12 percent interest rate to finance the project. Should Irving proceed with this project? Which of the following scenarios will shift the investment demand curve right? (Select one or more answers) a. Business taxes increase b. The expected return…
9. If the MPC is greater than zero but less than one, then we can be sure that when disposable income rises by P1 consumption will: a. not be affected b. will rise by more than P1 c. will rise by less than P1 d. will rise by exactly P1.
