Use the orange line (square symbol) to plot a 45-degree line on this graph. Then use the blue points (circle symbols) to plot the aggregate expenditure line for this economy. Also, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the equilibrium output at this price level.
Equilibrium exists at any output-income level in which the output level gives rise to an employment level which gives rise to an income level which gives rise to a total spending level which is just sufficient to clear total output off the market. Why is this a true statement?
Q9. For each of the following sets of data, determine if output will need to increase, decrease, or remain the same to move the economy to equilibrium:
Y=1,000;C=100+0.75(Y-T);I=200;G=150;T=100

Aggregate demand will _______. A. increase by less than $50 billion because there will be fewer goods and services produced for consumption expenditure B. increase by more than $50 billion because the increase in aggregate income induces an increase in consumption expenditure C. probably decrease by $50 billion, but it depends on the change in aggregate supply D. increase by exactly $50 billion because investment is a component of aggregate demandarrow_forwardWhich of the following correctly describes how a decrease in the price level affects consumption spending? Select one: a. A decrease in the price level raises real wealth, which causes consumption to increase. b. A decrease in the price level decreases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase. c. A decrease in the price level increases the amount of money a household needs to buy goods and so raises the interest rate, which causes consumption to increase. d. A decrease in the price level lowers real wealth, which causes consumption to decrease.arrow_forward
- Answer the question on the basis of the following table for a particular country in which C is consumption expenditures, Ig is gross investment expenditures, G is government expenditures, X is exports, and M is imports. All figures are in billions of dollars. Each question is independent of other question using the same table, unless otherwise stated. Price Level C Ig G X M Real GDP 128 $18 $2 $3 $1 $5 125 $20 $4 $3 $2 $4 122 $22 $6 $3 $3 $3 119 $24 $8 $3 $4 $2 116 $26 $10 $3 $5 $1 Refer to the table.

The AD curve begins at point (100, 140) and ends at (180, 80), descending left to right.arrow_forwardA $300 million decrease in investment spending will increase real GDP by more than $300 million. Is this a true statement? What is the relationship between investment spending and the GDP? I think that investment spending goes directly into the economy so I believe the answer to be true.

- Which of the following is true of the change in the quantity of aggregate output demanded? a.The change in the quantity of aggregate output demanded depends only on how much the aggregate expenditure line shifts. b.The change in the quantity of aggregate output demanded depends only on the change in investment demand. c.The change in the quantity of aggregate output demanded depends only on the change in government spending. d.The change in the quantity of aggregate output demanded depends only on the change in interest rates.arrow_forwardAssuming that there is no government spending or trade, an economy’s GDP is the sum of domestic consumption C and investment I, i.e. Y = C+ I Assume that I is unaffected by GDP Assume the consumption function is C = c0 + c1Y In any equilibrium aggregate demand, AD must be equal to Y, GDP. Given this model, which FIVE of the following statements are correct? Select one or more: A. If the economy above is a demand-driven economy, then the equilibrium solution for Y is given by Y = m(c0 + I), where m = 1/(1 - c1) is the multiplier. B. if c1 = 0.8 the multiplier is equal to 1/0.8= 1.25 C. if c1 = 0.75 the multiplier is equal to 4 D. assume c0 =100, I=50, c1=0.6. The equilibrium value of Y in a demand-driven economy is 300. E. Assume that Y is initially 400, I is initially 100, and the multiplier is 2.5. I increases by 10%. The multiplier implies that in equilibrium Y will increase by 25%. F. The higher is c1 the larger is the multiplier G.

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?arrow_forward
