A. Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of .75 is experiencing severe recession. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $70 billion? B. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand?
Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand show the relationship between economic output (GDP) and price levels in the macro-economy at a given point in time. Define the terms ‘Aggregate Demand’ and ‘Aggregate Supply.’ State TWO (2) monetary and TWO (2) fiscal policies that government can adopt, to effect change in Aggregate Demand.
Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.75 is experiencing severe recession. Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. Enter positive numbers. In part b, enter your answers as whole numbers. a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $40 billion? $ billion. How large a tax cut would be needed to achieve the same increase in aggregate demand? $ billion. b. Determine one possible combination of government spending increases and tax increases that would accomplish the same goal without changing the amount of outstanding debt (because it maintains a balanced budget, G = T). Increase spending by $ billion. Increase taxes by $ billion.
Suppose actual real GDP is $7.87 trillion, potential real GDP is $14.36 trillion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.61. If we ignore price effects, by how many trillions of dollars should the government change its lump sum taxes to fix the gap? (Round this to two digits after the decimal and enter this value as either a positive value or a negative value without the dollar sign.)
Which of the following scenarios would result in a decrease in Aggregate Demand? R A decline in investors confidence causes investment to fall.

Question 7. Suppose a closed economy with no government spending which in equilibrium is producing an output and income of 2300. Suppose also that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.80, and that, if at full employment, the economy would produce an output and income of 3750 By how much would the government need to cut taxes (T) to bring the economy to full employment? (round your answer to the nearest whole value) Your Answer: Answer View hint fr
If the MPC in an economy is 0.7, the government could shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $30 billion by changing government purchases by $billion. Your Answer: Answer
Need help with this. THanks -When Government Spending increases by $10 B Aggregate Demand increases by MORE than $10 B. Which part of Aggregate Demand (C, I, G, or X?) increases so as to make this ripple effect, or multiplied impact, happen?
Suppose that the federal government decides to reduce the budget deficit and cuts government purchases by $200 billion and raise personal income taxes by $200 billion. Suppose the MPC = .5. How much and in which direction would the AD curve shift because of the government spending cut? Show your work. How much and in which direction would the AD curve shift because of the tax increase? Show your work. (Note: we know these numbers in parts A & B are not accurate quantitative assessments of the policy actions - but the exercise allows us to think about the mechanisms through which these policy actions will affect the economy.) Using the above numbers, draw the AS-AD diagram and illustrate the short-run impact of the combined policy action assuming the economy begins at potential output. Label the original equilibrium with point "A" and the new short-run equilibrium with point "B". Be sure to label the magnitude of the curve shift. Describe the impact of the policy action on…
