U.S. Households Added $2.35 Trillion in Wealth The Federal Reserve reported that household wealth increased by $2.35 trillion or $20.000 per household in the first quarter of 2017. This rise is the largest since 2004. The rise came from a 5.5 percent gain in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and house price appreciation Separately, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that consumption expenditure increased by $56 billion in the first quarter of 2017 Sources: Bloomberg, June 8, 2017, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis Draw an assumed consumption function for the last quarter of 2016 and Tabel it Draw an assumed point at which consumers were in that quarter.

Empirical evidence suggests that many consumers tend to spend all of their current disposable income immediately. Is this irrational? Discuss Hint: use at least 2 or 3 of the consumption thoeries( Keynesian consumption theory, permanent income hypothesis theory,)
Only typed answer and please don't use chatgpt Why will temporary tax increase be insignificant in reducing consumption expenditures by the amount expected a. Because viewed the tax increase as permanent. b. Because people choose to increase their savings. C become people viewed taco increases temporarily d. Consumption expenditure are not related to level of taxtation
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?
4. A country’s consumer spending is defined by the following equation:Consumer spending = 365 + 0.75 (Disposable Income)a. Draw a diagram to represent this equation. b. Assuming no government, what will the Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) in this country.c. What will be Consumer spending if disposable income in this country is 1000? d. If suddenly this country’s wealth increases, how do you think the equation might change.Also show it in a diagram.
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
No ai answer pls Explain the basic idea of the expenditure multiplier and the role consumers' play
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.
Consider a hypothetical economy. Households spend $0.90 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.10. The multiplier for this economy is . Suppose government purchases, G, in this economy decrease by $150 billion. The decrease in G will lead to a decrease in income, generating a decrease in consumption that decreases income yet again, and so on. Fill in the following table to show the impact of the change in G on the first two rounds of consumption spending and, eventually, on national income. Note: Use negative signs if numbers are negative. Change in G = −$150 billion First Change in Consumption = billion Second Change in Consumption = billion • • • • • • Total Change in Income = billion Now consider the impact of a similar change in taxes. The (absolute value) of the tax multiplier in this question will be ; thus, if taxes change by -$150 billion, spending will change by billion. Based on…
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 ?
Consider a hypothetical economy. Households spend $0.50 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.50. The multiplier for this economy is . Suppose government purchases, G, in this economy increase by $300 billion. The increase in G will lead to an increase in income, generating an increase in consumption that increases income yet again, and so on. Fill in the following table to show the impact of the change in G on the first two rounds of consumption spending and, eventually, on national income. Note: Use negative signs if numbers are negative. Change in G = $300 billion First Change in Consumption = billion Second Change in Consumption = billion • • • • • • Total Change in Income = billion Now consider the impact of a similar change in taxes. The (absolute value) of the tax multiplier in this question will be ; thus, if taxes change by $300 billion, spending will change by billion. Based on…
