a.
To find: an equation for
a.
Answer to Problem 51E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: When money is spent on goods and services. those who receive the
money also spend some of it . The people receiving some of the twice-spent money will spend some of that and so on. Economists call this chain reaction the multiplier effect. In a hypothetical isolated community, the local government begins the process by spending D dollars. Suppose that each recipient of spent money spends 100c % and saves 100s % of the money that he or she receives. The value c and s are called the marginal propensity to consume and the marginal propensity to save and of course c + s =1.
Calculation:
The local government spends D dollars.
People, who receive those D dollars, will spend
People, who receive those Dc dollars, will spend
Total spending after n transaction is
b.

The value c and s are called the marginal propensity to consume and the marginal propensity to save and of course c + s =1.
Calculation:
Marginal propensity to consume is c = 0.8
s= 1- c =1-0.8=0.2.
Multiplier is
