115.) If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6, then according to the Keynesian Cross, the tax multiplier is -$3 -$1.5 -$0.6 none of the above
If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.9, then the tax multiplier will be: Group of answer choices impossible to determine. greater than 10. less than 10. zero, because there is no multiplier effect from taxes.
If the Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is .90, estimate the total (multiplied) effect of government purchases/spending of $100B in the economy in terms of its aggregate expenditure (Hint: Multiplier = 1 / 1 – MPC). Calculate the net cumulative change in aggregate expenditure if taxes were cut by $200 billion and MPC is estimated to be .75. What if government expenditure was increased by $200 billion? (Hint: Total change in expenditure = multiplier x new expenditure or spending injection)
Q.1.15 Induced consumption is: (a) the part of consumption which is independent of the level of income.(b) the minimum level of consumption that is financed from sources other than income.(c) The maximum level of consumption that is financed from sources other than income.(d) shown by the slope of the consumption function.Q.1.16 In the Keynesian model, an introduction of a proportional tax will: (a) increase the slope of the consumption function.(b) reduce the multiplier.(c) increase the equilibrium level of income.(d) increase the multiplier.Q.1.17 A decrease in the price level will: (a) shift the AS curve to the left.(b) shift the AD curve to the left.(c) shift the AS curve to the right.(d) leave both the AD curve and the AS curve unchanged. Q.1.18 During(a) increases, increasesan economic expansion, real GDP ____ and unemployment ____. (b) increases, decreases(c) decreases, increases(d) decreases,…
Which of the following is true? a. All economists agree that the tax multiplier is smaller than the government spending multiplier. b. In the standard Keynesian textbook analysis, the tax multiplier is greater than the government spending multiplier. c. There is disagreement among economists regarding the size of the tax multiplier relative to the size of the government spending multiplier. d. All economists agree that the tax multiplier is greater than the government spending multiplier.
Consider a Keynesian model with consumption function C = 100 + c(Y – T), 0<c<1 where taxes T are given by T = 100 + tY, 0<t<1 with marginal tax rate t. An increase in G will increase equilibrium output by the multiplier: a. 1/(1 – c – c*t) b.1/(1 – c + c*t) c.1/(1 – c*t) d.1/(1 – c)
In the Keynesian cross model, assume that the consumption function is given byC = 110 + 0.75(Y - T). Planned investment is 300; government purchases is 350. Assume a balanced budget.a. Graph planned expenditure as a function of income.b. What is the equilibrium level of income?c. If government purchases increase to 400, what is the new equilibrium income? What is the multiplier for government purchases?d. What level of government purchases is needed to achieve an income of 2,200? (Taxes remain unchanged.)e. What level of taxes is needed to achieve an income of 2,200? (Government purchases remain at 350.)
