Assume that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.6 and potential output is $1000 billion. If real GDP is $1100 billion:
Select one:
a. there is an inflationary gap.
b. the economy is in long-run equilibrium.
c. there is a recessionary gap.
d. government transfers should be decreased.
Assume the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. To offset a fall in income of 1,000 the government should
a.
raise taxes by $250.
b.
increase government spending and taxes by 1,000.
c.
increase taxes by $200.
d.
cut taxes by $200.
If the Marginal Propensity to Consume is 0.8, this means that
For each $1 increase in income, residents will increase their consumption by 20 cents.
For each $1 increase in government purchase, spending in the economy will increase by $4.00.
For each $1 increase in taxes, spending in the economy will decrease by $5.00.
For each $1 increase in taxes, spending in the economy will increase by $4.00.
For each $1 increase in taxes, spending in the economy will decrease by $4.00.

- Suppose the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.8 (i.e., c1 = 0.8). Given this information, which of the following events will cause the largest increase in output? Select one or more: a. Public spending, G, increases by 200 b. real GDP was larger than nominal GDP from 2002 to 2008 Public spending, G, increases by 150 c. Investment, I, increases by 150 d. Taxes, T, decrease by 200arrow_forwardIt is assumed that everything else stays constant. The economy has Consumption $90, Investment spending $100, Government expenditure on goods and services $80, Tax revenues $50, Exports $50, Imports $60. And marginal propensity to consume is assumed to be 0.7. When the potential output of the economy (or long run output) is $250, what should be government spending in order to close an output gap?arrow_forwardGiven a simple Keynesian spending multiplier of 2, how will GDP (Y) change when business investment increases by $15 billion, exports increase by $5 billion, and government spending drops by $10 billion?

- If the Marginal Propensity to Consume is 0.9, this means that For each $1 increase in income, residents will increase their consumption by 10 cents. For each $2 increase in government purchase, spending in the economy will increase by $9.00. For each $2 increase in income, residents will increase their savings by 90 cents. For each $2 increase in taxes, spending in the economy will decrease by $18.00. For each $2 increase in government purchase, spending in the economy will increase by $16.00.arrow_forwardtrue or false and why The economy is at the Keynesian equilibrium.
