Question 8
Real GDP in the economy is $7,900 Billion and the Marginal Propensity to Consume is 0.56. What will Real GDP in the economy be, in $
Billions, after a $10 Billion increase in Government Spending?
(Round your FINAL answer to the nearest whole number/integer.)
(BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ROUND "MIDDLE" CALCULATIONS. ONLY ROUND THE FINAL ANSWER.)
(Do not enter a dollar sign, $. or the word "Billion", just the number.)
Economics
1. Graphing the consumption function from the MPC
Consider a hypothetical economy in which the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75. That is, if disposable income increases by $1,
consumption increases by 75c.
Suppose further that last year disposable income in the economy was $500 billion and consumption was $400 billion.
On the following graph, use the blue line (aircle symbol) to plot this economy's consumption function based on these data.
