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 a closed economy with no government spending which in equilibrium is producing an output and income of 2500. Suppose also that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.80, and that, if at full employment, the economy would produce an output and income of 3900 By how much would the government need to cut taxes (T) to bring the economy to full employment?
Focus on the concept of marginal propensity to consume and reflect on which of the following would be implied by a highmarginal propensity to consume.O A small change in consumption when income changesO A high saving rateO A high marginal tax rateO An equilibrium level of income near full employmentO A low marginal propensity to save
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?
If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75, byhow much would government spending have to rise toincrease output by $1,000 billion? By how muchwould taxes need to decrease to increase output by$1,000 billion?
Derive the consumption function and use this relation in the aggregate demand function to derivean equation for the equilibrium in the goods market . Why the AD line is upward sloping?Suppose the government spending falls by 100 and in this case marginal propensity to consumeis 0.8. what is the value of change in output. Draw a diagram to show the shift in AD line due tothis change in government spending and output.
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.
Give typed solution only assume an economy has an MPC of .5 and their full employment level of output is $500 billion. If their current GDP is $600 billion, what could their government do to try ans correct this? a) decrease taxes by $50 billion b) decrease government spending by $50 billion c) increase government spending by $50 billion d) increase taxes by $50 billion
For the following problem, assume that the MPC, b, takes into account how much consumers spend as total income (Y) in the economy is changes. (Also: Hint GDP = Total Y) So we can rewrite our consumption function as :C= a +bYAssume:a= $2900 billionb=.75GDP= $9,000 billion.A) What is C=B) What is S=C) If consumers were the only ones buying goods in the economy, would the economy have an excess supply of goods, excess demand of goods or would the economy be at equilibrium ?
