- What is the relationship between the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) and the multiplier?arrow_forwardSuppose there is some hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.50 of each additional dollar they earn and save the $0.50 they have left over. The following graph plots the economy's initial aggregate demand curve (AD1). Suppose now that the government increases its purchases by $3.5 billion. of Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the following graph to show the aggregate demand curve (AD) after the multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure the new aggregate demand curve (ADs) is parallel to ADj. You can see the slope of 4D, by selecting it on the following graph. Suppose that for every increase in the interest rate of one percentage point, the level of investment spending declines by $2 billion. Based on the changes made to the money market in the previous scenario, the new interest rate causes the level of investment spending to_____ Y by______ Taking the multiplier effect into account, the change in investment spending will cause the quantity of output demanded…arrow_forwardWhat is the multiplier effect? The multiplier is simply the ratio of the change in (r spending. Multiplying the initial change in spending by the multiplier gives you the amount of change in real GDP. G ) to the initial change in The multiplier effect can work in a positive or a negative direction. An initial increase in spending will result in a (smaller, larger) increase in real GDP, and an initial decrease in spending will result in a larger (increase, decrease ) in real GDP. The multiplier magnifies the fluctuations in economic activity initiated by changes in investment spending, net exports, government spending, or consumption spending. The multiplier is related to the marginal propensities. The MPC is (directly, inversely ) related to the size of the multiplier. The MPS is (directly, inversely ) related to the size of the multiplier. What will multiplier and MPS be when the MPC is .9, and 0.5?
