An open economy presents the following data. The intercept of the consumption function is 4700.The marginal propensity to save (MPS) is 0.20.There are no tax collections in this economy.Government expenditure is 10,000.Autonomous investment is 6,000.The marginal propensity to invest is 0.12.Autonomous exports are 5,000.Autonomous imports are 3,000.The marginal propensity to import is 0.1.Using this information, answer the following four parts. Calculate the equilibrium level of GDP.Calculate the multiplier in this economy.Now suppose that the MPS changes to 0.15. Calculate the new multiplier in this economy.Given the change in the MPS to 0.15, calculate the new equilibrium level of GDP
Assume that marginal propensity to consume is 0.75. autonomous consumption is 100 units (consumption function therefore is as follows: C=100+0.75 Y) . Calculate Multiplier Equilibrium output if Y=100 How much does equilibrium output change if autonomous consumption increases by 50 to 150 units (Hint: use multiplier)
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,…
If the marginal propensity to consume increases, we should expect that for any given change in income, the change in autonomous spending is larger the IS curve will become steeper the aggregate expenditure function will flatten the expenditure multiplier will become larger the marginal propensity to save will also increase
A flatter aggregate consumption function, if plotted on a graph with output on the horizontal axis and aggregate consumption on the vertical axis, would indicate which of the following: Select one: a. A smaller marginal propensity to consume and a larger multiplier. b. A larger marginal propensity to consume and a larger multiplier. c. A smaller marginal propensity to consume and a smaller multiplier. d. A smaller marginal propensity to save (MPS = 1 - MPC) and a smaller multiplier. Clear my choice
An economy has the following consumption function: C=$200+0.8DI . The government budget is balanced, with government purchases and taxes both fixed at $1,000. Net exports are $100. Investment is $600. 1. The value of equilibrium in this model is . 2. If government spending increases by $150, the equilibrium value increases by , demonstrating a multiplier value of . 3. If both G and T rise by $150 at the same time, the equilibrium Y will increase by

Which of the following statements is true? Group of answer choices As marginal propensity to consume (b) decreases, the spending multiplier remains the same. As marginal propensity to consume (b) increases, the spending multiplier increases. As marginal propensity to consume (b) decreases, the spending multiplier increases As marginal propensity to consume (b) increases, the spending multiplier decreases
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 disposable income starts at 1,000 and increases by 500; consumption starts at 1,100 and increases by 300; investment spending is 1,000 and government spending is 500. 1. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is equal to: 0.5 0.6 0.7 6 2. The multiplier is: 0.25 2 2.5 3 3.The consumption equation is: C = 500 + 0.6DI C = 500 + 0.5DI C = 100 + 0.75DI C = 100 + 0.6DI 4. Let ∆I = 1,000.

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.
In a closed economy, consumers spend $300 regardless of the level of income, and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75. Investment is equal to $200. The government spends $400 and collects $50 in taxes. The equilibrium level of GDP in this economy is $
