The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD₁) for this economy before the change in government spending. Use the green line (triangle symbol) to plot the new aggregate demand curve (AD₂) after the multiplier effect takes place. For simplicity, assume that there is no "crowding out."Hint: Be sure that the new aggregate demand curve (AD₂) is parallel to the initial aggregate demand curve (AD₁). You can see the slope of AD₁ by selecting it on the graph.**Graph Explanation:**- **X-Axis (Horizontal):** Represents the Output in Trillions of dollars, ranging from 0 to 8.- **Y-Axis (Vertical):** Represents the Price Level, ranging from 100 to 140.- **Blue Line (AD₁):** Indicates the initial aggregate demand curve, sloping downward from a price level of 140 at output 0 to a price level of 100 at output 8.- **Green Line:** Instructions suggest plotting the new aggregate demand curve (AD₂) parallel to AD₁ using the green line with a triangle symbol. 1. The multiplier effect of a change in government purchasesConsider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.60 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.40.The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is **0.6**, and the expenditure multiplier for this economy is ____.Suppose the government in this economy decides to **increase** government purchases by $400 billion. The increase in government purchases will lead to an increase in income, generating an initial change in consumption equal to _____________. This increases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to ________________. The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is ________________.

The multiplier effect asserts that as government expenditure increases to stimulate the economy,…

4. The multiplier effect of a change in government purchases Suppose there is some hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.80 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.20. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is 0.8, and the spending multiplier for this economy is 5. Suppose the government in this economy decides to decrease government purchases by $400 billion. The decrease in government spending will lead to a decrease in income, creating an initial change in consumption equal to -$2,000 billion. This decreases income yet again, leading to a second change in consumption equal to The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD) for this economy before the change in government spending.

5. Fiscal policy, the money market, and aggregate demand Consider a hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.50 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.50. The following graph shows the economy's initial aggregate demand curve (AD₁). Suppose the government increases its purchases by $2.5 billion. Use the green line (triangle symbol) on the following graph to show the aggregate demand curve (AD2) after the multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure the new aggregate demand curve (AD2) is parallel to AD₁. You can see the slope of AD₁ by selecting it on the following graph.

Suppose the following list of events describes all of the economic activity resulting from an increase in government spending. Suppose that at each step after the initial one, the marginal propensity to consume is 0.62 and the tax rate is 8%. Step 0. The government spends $8500 on meat to host a very large dinner for foreign diplomats. Step A. The butcher takes the income earned by selling the meat, saves some, and spends the rest on a wedding cake for his daughter. Step B. The baker who produced the wedding cake saves some of her earnings and uses the rest to purchase beautiful candlesticks as gifts for all of her friends. Step C. The local candlestick maker saves some of his revenue for retirement and spends the rest on building materials to improve his house. Instructions: Modify the settings in the interactive tool to represent this event. Then click "Spending Rounds" and use the table to answer the following questions. Round answers to the nearest cent, if necessary. How much does…
