33)Consider the following consumption function: C = 800 + 0.75 YD for the fictitious economy of Zapland. If the government increases its purchase of goods and services by $200 million, what is the change in GDP? Assume that there is no increase in the price level. (Note negative means decrease) Select one: a. $2,000 million b. $800 million c. $400 million d. -$800 million e. -$1,000 million

Question 3 of 16 Income and consumption changes for five people are shown in the table. Given this information, rank the marginal propensities to consume (MPC) for the five people from largest to smallest.

Homework: Demand-Side Equilibrium: Unemployment or Inflation? The following graph shows the total expenditure line (TE) for an economy where current equilibrium output is $400 billion and potential output is $650 billion. REAL EXPENDITURE (Billions of dollars) § 2 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 0 100 45-degree ling 200 300 400 500 600 REAL GDP (Bilions of dollars) The economy is experiencing TE Potential GDP 700 800 TE equal to $ by billion. Thus, the value of the multiplier for this economy is billion. To close the output gap, government purchases could On the previous graph, shift the TE line to show the change in total expenditure necessary to close the output gap. Note: Select and drag the curve to the desired position. The curve will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
Explanation it correctly and details Q)Suppose that economists observe than an increase in government spending of $6 billion raises total demand for goods and services by $16 billion. (a) If these economists ignore the possibility of crowding out, what would they estimate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) to be? (b) Now suppose the economists allow for crowding out. Would their new estimate of the MPC be larger or smaller than the initial level? Explain your answer.
Question 19 The expenditure line O is steeper than the 45-degree line. O slopes upward because consumption depends positively on income. O slopes upward because the MPC is less than 1. slopes upward because consumption and investment depend positively on income. O shows the relationship between consumption spending and income. D Question 20 Between December 2007 and June 2009, the United States economy was in recession and millions of jobs were lost. the United States economy moved upward and millions of jobs were created. the United States economy grew, but not many jobs were created. the United States economy moved downward, but still many jobs were created. the United States economy remained stationary.
True or False? Explain: The multiplier effect is likely to be greatest when the government spending is targeted at the poorest The poor will always spend most of the money they get as benefits as soon as possible Multiplier effect does not depend on who receives the money The richest people will spend a larger proportion of their money than the poorest

If consumption is C=100+0.75Yd Taxes is T=50+0.5Y Export is X=200 Import is M=50+0.25Y Government spending is G=150 Investment is I=200 .Use the multiplier applicable to export,to explain how a100–billion decline in demand for export could affect the economy’s: (i) GDP/income Expert Answer Step 1 A multiplier is an important factor of an economy that can lead to change in many economic variables when increase or decrease. Step 2 An export multiplier is a multiplier that is applicable to export. The effect of a decline in demand by 100 billion on GDP/income will be computed by the export multiplier. Thus, The export multiplier shows that the GDP/income will be decreased by 1.33 billion with the decline in the 100-billion decline in the demand. please show how you get M=0.5

If full employment in this economy is 130 million, will there be an inflationary expenditure gap or a recessionary expenditure gap? What will be the consequence of this gap?

What is the multiplier in this example?b. Will there be an inflationary expenditure gap or a recessionary expenditure gap if the full-employment level of output is $500 billion? Explain the consequences. By how much would aggregate expenditures in column 3 have to change at each level of GDP to eliminate the gap? What is the multiplier in this example? c. Assuming that investment, net exports, and government expenditures do not change with changes in real GDP, what are the sizes of the MPC, the MPS, and the multiplier?
4. Planned expenditure and income The following table shows consumption (C), investment spending (I), and government purchases (G), in a hypothetical economy for various levels of income. Also assume that there is an income tax rate of 25%, that base consumption is $100 billion, and that the MPC is 0.333, or 1/3. This economy is closed, with no international trade, therefore net exports are equal to zero and should not be considered. Use the given information to fill in disposable income, consumption, and planned expenditures in the following table. Income: Real Disposable (After Tax) Planned GDP Income C I, G Expenditures (Billions of (Billions of dollars) (Billions of (Billions of (Billions of (Billions of dollars) dollars) dollars) dollars) dollars) 100 50 150 100 50 150 200 50 150 300 50 150 400 50 150 500 50 150
