In a simple economy (assume there are no taxes, thus Y is disposable income), the consumption function is C = 1000 + 0.8Y. Thus, autonomous consumption is enter your response here and the marginal propensity to consume is enter your response here. A consumer whose income increases by $100 will increase consumption by $enter your response here. Part 2 The saving function in this economy is: S=enter your response here+enter your response here Y.
Assume a closed economy in which, there is no government. If autonomous consumption is80, autonomous investment is 70, and marginal propensity to save is 0.25 in this economy.Then calculate the amount of equilibrium output (income)?
Suppose a closed economy has an aggregate consumption function given by C = 50 + 0.50Yd and generates $2500 output and income in equilibrium. Suppose also that the government spends 400 and imposes a lump-sum tax of 100. What is the level of intended investment?
Suppose in a simple Keynesian economy, planned consumption function is given by C=250+0.65(Y-T). Planned investment, government purchases, taxes are $100 million, $100 million and $150 million respectively. What is MPC, MPS and autonomous consumption Derive the saving function. What is the equilibrium level of income? Y= AD=C+I+G If government purchases increase to $150 million, what is the new equilibrium level of income? What level of government purchases is needed to achieve an income of $2000 million? From question e) you get the newly government purchase. Now find out the multiplier value What is the amount of shift in AD curve? [Use the multiplier value from (5)]
Consider a closed economy. Let Y denote GDP, C denotes Consumption, I denotes Investment, r is the real rate of interest in percent, T denotes Taxes, and G stands for Government Spending. Suppose that these take the following form: Y = 8,000.C = 600 + 0.8(Y – T) I = 2,000 – 100rT = 500G = 500. a. What is the marginal propensity to consume in this economy? b. What are the equilibrium values of C, I, and r? c. What are the values of private saving, public saving, and national saving? d. If government spending rises to 1,000, what are the new equilibrium values of C, I, and r? e. What are the new equilibrium values of private saving, public saving, and national saving?
Choose the correct answer: . If consumption is $25,000 when income is $26,000, and consumption increases to $25,900 when income increases to $28,000, the marginal propensity to consume is: 0,59. (B) 0.65. (C) 0.55. (D) 0.45. 2) Suppose consumption is $10,000 when income is $9,000 and the marginal propensity to save equals 0.1. When income increases to $9,500, consumption will be: $8,500. (B) $10,450. (C) $10,500. (D) $10,050.
Which one of the following statements relating to marginal propensity to consume is INCORRECT? (a) Marginal propensity to consume for a given consumption function is usually less than 1; (b) If the people in a country save 30c out of every rand they earn, the marginal propensity to consume in this country is said to be 0.7; (c) If the marginal propensity to consume is given as 0.622, then the value of the simple multiplier will be 2.5; (d) The larger the value of the marginal propensity to consume, the steeper the consumption function will be.

Suppose that the consumer’s consumption demand function is given by Cd(r) = 0.8(Y−T)+10−10r. Investment is Id(r) = 20 − 10r, government expenditure is G = 10, and tax is T = 10.
