Chapter 9, Problem 5.11P
To determine

Amount by which government will have to increase its spending to achieve an increase in real GDP demanded from $14 trillion to $15 trillion.

Suppose that the MPC is 0.8 and that $18 trillion of real GDP is currently being demanded. The government wants to increase real GDP demanded to $19 trillion at the given price level. By how much would it have to increase government purchases to achieve this goal?
(Changes in Government Purchases) Assume that government purchases decrease by $10 billion, with other factors held constant, including the price level. Calculate the change in the level of real GDP demanded for each of the following values of the MPC. Then, calculate the change if the government, instead of reducing its purchases, increased autonomous net taxes by $10 billion. 0.9 0.8 0.75 0.6
