5. Fiscal policy, the money market, and aggregate demand Consider a hypothetical economy in which households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.25. The following graph shows the economy's initial aggregate demand curve (AD¡ ). Suppose the government increases its purchases by $3.75 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 ADI. You can see the slope of AD¡ by selecting it on the following graph. 116 114 AD, 2 112 AD 110 AD, 108 106 104 102 PRICE LEVEL

The Image attached titled Table 1 is data for a hypothetical private-closed economy. Use the information in the Table 1 to analyze aggregate expenditures (AE) model attached (Figure 1. Equilibrium in a Private Closed Economy). Question 1 Identify the mistake and explain why the graph of the aggregate expenditures line does not correctly illustrate the economy's equilibrium. Question 2 Chart the aggregate expenditures (AE) model in Excel using the data from Table 1: A Private Closed Economy. Remember, the 45degree line (also known as the Keynesian Cross) is a tool that shows how differences in aggregate expenditures and real GDP can affect business inventories which will affect future levels of real GDP. Aggregate expenditure and GDP are both function of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. So, the equations for the two are identical: Y = C + I + G + NX, and AE (aggregate expenditure) = C + I + G + NX For private closed economy the equation…

If MPC is 0.6 and government tax decreases by 350, how much does gross domestic product change? (NOTE: Refer to the textbook) 16. From #14 and #15, can you tell which policy tool does have a higher multiplier effect?
2. The multiplier effect of a change in government purchases Consider a 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, and the spending multiplier for this economy is ▼. Suppose the government in this economy decides to decrease government purchases by $300 billion. The decrease in government purchases will lead to a decrease in income, generating an initial change in consumption equal to . This decreases 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 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 spending multiplier effect takes place. Hint: Be sure that the new aggregate demand…
7. Study Questions and Problems #7 Suppose autonomous government spending increases by $100 billion and the value of the MPC is 0.9. Use the following table to compute four rounds of the spending multiplier effect. Round Components of Total Spending 1 Investment Consumption Consumption Consumption 2 3 4 New Consumption Spending (Billions of dollars) After an infinite number of spending-output-spending rounds, the total change in real GDP resulting from the $100 billion increase in government spending is $ billion.

6. Graphical treatment of taxes and fiscal policy The main difference between variable taxes and fixed taxes is that unlike fixed taxes, variable taxes The following graph shows the consumption schedule for an economy with a given level of taxes. Suppose the government implements a tax increase through a fixed tax. Use two green points (triangle symbol) to connect the two black points (plus symbols) representing the consumption schedule after the change in taxes. Hint: The new consumption schedule must pass through one point on the left and one point on the right.
