Assume that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and that taxes are exogenous. Imagine that government expenditure increases by $10m. Begin by assuming that the interest rate and prices stay fixed. 1. What is the value of the aggregate expenditure multiplier (k)? 2. How would the change be represented in an AD-AS diagram? 3. How would the change differ if the interest rate could change (assuming prices remain fixed)? 4. How would the change differ if the price level could also change?
If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.80, and if policy makers wish to increase real GDP $200 million, then by how much would they have to change taxes? A.decrease by $240 million. B.decrease by $160 million. C.decrease by $180 million. D.decrease by $50 million.
In an economy with no government and no foreign sectors, autonomous consumer spending is $250 billion, planned investment spending is $350 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 2/3. c) What is Y*, income-expenditure equilibrium GDP? d) What is the value of the multiplier? e) If planned investment spending rises to $450 billion, what will be the new Y*?
Suppose the consumption function is $800 billion +0.8y and the government wants to stimulate the economy. By how much will aggregate demand at current prices shift initially (before multiplier effects) with: a. A $50 billion increase in government purchases b. A $50 billion tax cut c. A $50 increase from income transfers what will the cumulative ad shift be for: d. The increased government spending e. The tat cut f. The increased transfers
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?
AD shocks change the equilibrium level of income(Y)and price(P). But the division of effects between P and Y depends on the shape of the SRAS curve. Using graphs show us what happens to P ,Y and the size of multiplier whena. SRAS is verticalb. SRAS is horizontal
If the recessionary gap is $ 200 billion and the multiplier is 2, what is the increase in aggregate spending needed to bring the economy to full employment? a)$300 billion b)$ 600 billion c)$200 billion d) $66.6 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.
A country is in the midst of a recession with a real GDP estimated to be $1.8 million below potential GDP. The governement's policy analyss believe the current value of the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.90. (Please answer all parts) a. If the government wants real GDP to equal potential GDP, by how much should it increase governement spending? Alternatively, by how much should it reduce taxes? b. Suppose that during the recession people have become less confident and decide they will spend only 50% of any additional income. In this case, if the governement increases spending by the amount calculated in part A, will real GDP end up less than , greater than or equal to potential GDP? by how much? c. With the same decrese in consumer spending as described in part B, if the governement decreases taxes by the amount calculated in part A, will real GDP end up less than, greater than or equal topotential GDP? by how much? d. Why is it difficult for the governement to predict…
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
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?
At an intial point on the aggregate demand curve, the price level is 100, the real GDP is $18 trillion. After the price level rises to 110, however there is an upward movement along the aggregate demand curve, and real GDP declines to $14 trillion. If total planned spending declines by $200 billion in response to the increase in the price level, what is the MPC in this economy?
