Assume that the full-employment level of output is $1,000 and the price level associated with full-employment output is 100. Also assume that the economy's current level of output is $1,100 and, at the price level of 100, current aggregate demand is $1,200. If the government moves the economy back to the full-employment level of output by reducing government purchases by $50, then the expenditures multiplier equals

Due to an increase in consumer wealth, there is a $40 billion autonomous increase in consumer spending in the economies of Westlandia and Eastlandia. Assuming that the aggregate price level is constant, the interest rate is fixed in both countries, and there are no taxes and no foreign trade, complete the accompanying tables to show the various rounds of increased spending that will occur in both economies if the marginal propensity to consume is 0.5 in Westlandia and 0.75 in Eastlandia. What do your results indicate about the relationship between the size of the marginal propensity to consume and the multiplier?
Explain how each of the following actions will affect the level of planned investment spending and unplanned inventory investment. Assume the economy is initially in income–expenditure equilibrium.
a. The Federal Reserve raises the interest rate.
b. There is a rise in the expected growth rate of real GDP.
c. A sizable inflow of foreign funds into the country lowers the interest rate.
