Suppose that due ot a fiscal stimulus, there is an increase in disposable incomes of $100 billion in the first round. Then, $33 billion was spent in consumption from this initial change of the disposable incomes. Following the same marginal propensity to consume, how much is the change in consumption spending in the next round from the $33 billion?
Suppose that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. If the government decreases spending by Ksh 500 billion, what is the change in output? If the government decreases taxes by Ksh 500 billion, what is the change in (ii) output? If the government decreases transfer payments by ksh 500 billion, what is the change in output If the government decreases spending by ksh 500 billion and at the same time decreases taxes by ksh 500 billion, what is the change in output?
Q) For this question, assume the marginal propensity to consume is 0.7. a. Calculate the change in private saving, public saving, national saving, and investment when taxes increase $100. b. Calculate the change in private saving, public saving, national saving, and investment when government purchases decrease $100. c. Which causes a larger change in investment, the increase in taxes in part a or the decrease in government purchases in part b? Support your answer. Explain it correctly and all subparts.

Note: I need help with parts d, e, and f only Following is information for the economy of Sparkle. All units are milliondollars. Their autonomous consumption is $700, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8.Investment spending is constant at $380, and government expenditure is constant at $300.Exports are constant at $500, and imports are constant at $800. Net taxes are constant at $100.Calculate and state your answers for the following questions.a) What is the value of consumption in this economy when the real GDP is $1100?b) What is the value of autonomous aggregate planned expenditure i.e. AE0?c) What is the value of equilibrium aggregate expenditure for this economy?d) What is the value of unplanned changes in the inventory investment when real GDP is$4000?e) What is the size of the multiplier in this economy?f) If investment spending increases by $50, what would be the value of the change in theequilibrium real GDP?
The following questions refer to this table: a.At each level of output, calculate saving. At each level of out-put, calculate unplanned investment (inventory change).What is likely to happen to aggregate output if the economyproduces at each of the levels indicated? What is the equilib-rium level of output?b.Over each range of income (2,000 to 2,500, 2,500 to 3,000, andso on), calculate the marginal propensity to consume. Calculatethe marginal propensity to save. What is the multiplier?c.By assuming there is no change in the level of the MPC andthe MPS and planned investment jumps by 200 and is sus-tained at that higher level, recompute the table. What is thenew equilibrium level of Y? Is this consistent with what youcompute using the multiplier?
In the economy of Spendsalot, the marginal propensity to save, MPS, is 0.8. What is the marginal propensity to consume, MPC, for Spendsalot? Which value does MPC determine? a.the slope of tax revenues as a function of GDP b.the slope of pre‑tax consumption as a function of GDP c.the slope of pre‑tax investment as a function of GDP d.the slope of government consumption as a function of GDP.
If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, net taxes are fixed at $2,000, and real income rises by $12,000, by how much will real consumption spending increase? a. $12,000 b. $7,500 c. $9,000 d. $7,000 e. $8,000
Explanation it correctly and details Q)Suppose that economists observe than an increase in government spending of $6 billion raises total demand for goods and services by $16 billion. (a) If these economists ignore the possibility of crowding out, what would they estimate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) to be? (b) Now suppose the economists allow for crowding out. Would their new estimate of the MPC be larger or smaller than the initial level? Explain your answer.
