Income and Expenditure — End of Chapter Problem An economy has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.5, and Y*, the income-expenditure equilibrium GDP, equals $500 billion. Given an autonomous increase in planned investment of $10 billion, answer the following questions. a. What is the value of the multiplier? Value of the multiplier = b. What would you expect the total change in Y* to be based on the multiplier formula? Change in Y* based on the multiplier = billion c. What is the total change in real GDP after the 10 rounds? It may be beneficial to make a table on a separate sheet of paper to calculate the change in real GDP for each of the rounds, and then add up the values. Total change in real GDP (10 rounds) = billion d. How do your answers to the change in GDP and Y compare? The answer to total change in GDP after 10 rounds and the change in Y* based on the multiplier formula are
Find the value of change in income if change in investment is $200 and Multiplier is 6

Suppose that an initial $10 billion increase in investment spending expands GDP by $10 billion in the first round of the multiplier process. Also suppose that GDP and consumption both rise by $6 billion in the second round of the process. what is the MPC? What is the size of the Multiplier? If, instead, GDP and consumption both rose by $8 billion in the second round, what would have been the size of the multiplier?
What is the multiplier effect? What relationship does the MPC bear to the size of the multiplier? The MPS? What will the multiplier be when the MPS is 0, .4, .6, and 1? What will it be when the MPC is 1, .90, .67, .50, and 0? How much of a change in GDP will result if firms increase their level of investment by $8 billion and the MPC is .80? If the MPC is .67?
Calculate the value of multiplier if change in income is $1100 million and the change in investment is $350 million
How is it possible for investment spending to increase even in a period in which the real interest rate rises? Is the relationship between changes in spending and changes in real GDP in the multiplier effect a direct (positive) relationship or is it an inverse (negative) relationship? How does the size of the multiplier relate to the size of the MPC? The MPS? What is the logic of the multiplier-MPC relationship?
Suppose that the initial 10 billion increase in the investment spending expands GDP by 10 billion in the first round of multiplier process. If GDP and consumption both rise by 6 billion in the second round of the process, what is the MPC in this economy? What is the size of the multiplier? If instead, GP and consumption both Rose by 8 billion in the second round, what would’ve been the size of the multiplier?
